Yeah, I'm all for that too. It just doesn't make sense to let encrypted messages hang around in relays forever. Having them go through relays at all is already unnecessary. I'd much rather have direct P2P communication instead.

I've been thinking about this all the time and holding off on implementing DMs in #NoorNote because of it. To me, direct messages don't belong on any relays at all. And if they do, they should get reliably deleted right after delivery.

Anyone want to step up and build a solid inbox relay? We need that infrastructure.

I've integrated nip17 messaging to Plume, a while back, but I've been considering how to ha e the most secure and private messages. NIP17 is probably enough for most #nostr use cases, but if I want real privacy, there needs to be another few things in place. Primarily, no one should no a messenger service even exists, except for the people using it to communicate. It should be obscured, in case its seen. It should ideally be ephemeral, signing in only when two things are brought together and signing out as soon as its closed. Messages should use a specific relay and the messages should erase within an hour of being read. It's too much flaff for normal general conversations but if you need to keep it private, then extra steps will always be required.
