Ah yeah, good point! What happens if I'm using Primal but I want to follow someone who is using one of these lockbox/zapbox relays for their special content? I'm happy to zap them the threshold. But how does the special content get from that zapbox relay to Primal's aggregator relay so I can see it in Primal? Didn't think about that.

Yeah, it doesn't. I expect Primal is not able to pull those in.

Hmm yeah. Primal couldn't really zap the threshold themselves and then use their own access to the lockbox to grab the events and copy them over to their aggregator relay, as that'd make those events viewable by anyone (yikes). And if Primal tried to replicate the lockbox filtering in a quasi-sense on their end (purely client-side) then what's the point?

Plus I suppose the lockbox owner could put up a robots.txt style don't-broadcast-this-stuff notice, adding legal concerns on top.

If this lockbox takes hold it makes you wonder if aggregation can scale.

Aggregation should only ever be for fully public notes. Lockbox is great for communities. I think both can exist in parallel.

Yeah. But then a client like Primal would have to juggle aggregation and outbox architectures. Thats two very different stacks to maintain.
