i was designing an IRC like protocol that was based on follow and mute lists and ephemeral events and secondary clients that act like nickserv and chanserv in IRC architecture
this is a separate model to the MLS style because it's ostensibly public, but the relay and botservs act as privacy gatekeepers, it's much more efficient for scaling up but it is a trusted third party, the idea is that that trusted third party is the team of community leaders
this is how most groups are implemented on large chat systems like telegram and discord, it's impossible to scale MLS style enccryption and it has some glaring limitations in terms of having no control over the broadcast group, where you can do that with chan/nick/relay servers
