The time for radical transparency has arrived

@pfrazee.com I thought this was on the road map?

I would like to see key-based chat tacked on.

Could something like Signal support ATP identity? Why reinvent the private messaging wheel?

Can it support Discord style spoiler tags

Choosing not to support in-protocol DMs would be a remarkable move.

Ugh same problem as Mastodon (iiuc). That alone makes me skeptical this will kill Twitter off

could DMs be a hybrid? something like: identity provided by the protocol and DMs provided by Bluesky outside of the protocol?

i don’t mind if it doesn’t have DMs… the whole “admin can read DMs” thing is true for twitter too. sure it’s less of a pain than switching apps but i’m over that particular platform risk

I like that Bluesky doesn't have DMs. It's hard to pull off great UX with end-to-end encryption which in my opinion is a must. They can possibly integrate to systems like Matrix on the client side in the future and offload that responsibility.

Im wondering if some kind of non-custodial multisignature private key setup (tied to email and maybe a passkey for recovery) could allow for an XMTP setup without needing blockchain

I’m still trying to figure out if we can make it work via XMTP

The question of privacy — it’s an always critical matter but now it’s really for real.

this is how i understand it as well. I saw a suggestion on here (which, sorry if it was actually yours?) that DMs could be handled by DIDs for Signal and that seemed extremely good
