Nostr Web Client

another option is to run your own relay and only allow those "select number of people" on your relay's whitelist. then messages you publish there are only available to those people. otherwise, it's hard to imagine how a non-account-based approach could work in this context.

This is what could be used for “premium” feeds right? So a newsletter could have their subscribers on a whitelist receive the updates via the relay?

As long as your followers don’t send your events to other relays (they can).

Is there a way to limit to a single relay?

No. Anyone can always rebroadcast your messages.

Subscribers like Reddit. Relay owner is “mod”.

Further, as an incentive to moderate and keep spam free, one could pay Sats to the moderator to be part of their whitelist.

I can’t believe this hasn’t happened sooner. It makes sense. What do you think is causing the momentum to shift?

Would the mod/community choose what content should be “modded”?

however the relay owner decides it. think of it as digital private property

Members -only. Interesting concept for sure. Do any of these exist already?

the entire internet works this way

Exactly, if you don’t want someone to see something specific don’t publish it on a public network. Money is information, but Nostr is not money.

Meant a relay specifically but get your point.

Nothing yet that I’m aware of.

yes, you have your own local slice of the protocol.

This is it. And you don’t need discord or telegram or anything. Just the relay. Love it.
