18 million? That’s the craziest thing about it. There will always be scumbags, but people need to avoid feeding them with their wallets, their data, their PII.
It’s been a while since I opened Damus. Immediately found an irritant: conversations are now split (so neither threaded nor time-ordered) by known contacts and unknown. It would be much better to attach an icon that says “unknown/untrusted” than to make the conversation unreadable like this.
