I agree there could be a walled garden setup like you outline, ideal for all kinds of private groups wanting to use nostr like you would private Telegram groups (and replace them, eventually).

The URL or qr code invite would be crucial in onboarding members to the group too. Right now, our local group has a main private Telegram group chat whose entry is protected from entry by a lobby chat, where people are basically asked to tell us how they found the group, and we can invite them (or not) to the main group.

Agreed about the invite flow.

My simple/moron solve for that initially is: human trust.

Group members have a private QR code that will allow anyone in who scans it. So people should be extremely discriminating with handing it out.

When you have a _valuable_ and super high trust unit like that, people are naturally incentivized to protect it.

We already are careful with Telegram invite links, and once the person that we invited joins, we revoke the link to deactivate it. I'm guessing something similar could be done with the private nostr channel?
