0xchat (npub1tm9…xn72) I'm looking at you here. Your claim is "Secure" and have ecrypted private groups. Why is it when I create a nip-29 closed group the messages are still visible to any random npub on Chachi? Why does it flip to public open when that was not what was selected upon creation? Why display edit options to chage the group configurations when they constantly flip back to public?

Extremely misleading!

Nostr rant: #asknostr

Can someone explain to me how PRIVATE group chats or communities are supposed to work on nostr?

I have been experimenting in this space for nearly 6 months now and devs have done wonders on building the public side of this. But private is where customer trust is built! That is what the average user is coming for and what they are expecting.

What's the barrier here?

Is running your own relay the only way to do this? The average pleb is never going to be able to do that successfully so I'm not sure how this approach can ever scale to meet mass adoption needed to support communities.

This is probably the most important element needed to bring creators into nostr. Am I missing something or why has this not been a priority?
