When I build a Chat app with:
- Private groups (MLS)
- Public Communities (#communikeys)
... that both use kind 9 chat messages.
How do you really expect me to mix in Nip-17 and call it "DMs" or "Chat Rooms"?
When the kind 14 messages used in that Nip:
- are less secure, private and direct than the MLS I already have
- don't make the conversation have a global state
- can optionally be signed for dispute regulation
- have a subject tag, like email
- can be forked and forwarded, like email
- are perfect for one-off communication in Marketplaces,etc... like email
No thanks.
It's Nostr Mail.
Because that's what it's good for.
Not Nostr Direct Messages.
My users don't need those false promises and confusion.
