I'd like it if they fixed the privacy of DMs first.. it's also strange that there's no way to turn them off

Privacy is fixed with nip 17. Many clients and libraries have already switched and deprecated nip 4. I wish Damus would hurry up and implement it.

We love Nostr as a publishing platform that offers unparalleled censorship resistance. But NIP44 does NOT provide most of the important qualities of e2e encryption: - break-in recovery. - repudiation (deniability). - visibility of connection graph to observers. - fixed message sizes (although it can be provided by the specific app) - resistance to Shore algorithm (PQ encryption). It's unclear whether it provides forward secrecy, but the spec implies that it does not - I might be wrong here. We wrote this post about the qualities of e2e encryption and why they are important: https://simplex.chat/blog/20240314-simplex-chat-v5-6-quantum-resistance-signal-double-ratchet-algorithm.html
