Are you aware ser that primal and damus not supporting nostr DMs (Nip17) is a dual force that has been very destructive to nostr retention? It's two years old spec, it's the standard..
People can't DM from these apps. They try, and get ghosted. They don't understand. They leak their metadata. Marketplace users are sad, humans are sad. Users are very confused. DM is an important part of social and we are dropping users on the floor with this.
I know you don't control what primal does but, this is just my timely reminder that it would help your companies #grownostr emmensely if primal upgraded to NIP17.
Waiting for white noise a few more years, when this spec has already been deployed to ALL other apps is a pretty big nostr adoption roadblock.
