An essay explaining why we don't plan to use MLS: https://www.poberezkin.com/posts/2025-08-12-mls-the-naked-king-of-end-to-end-encryption.html

A sidenote, is that Nostr's Whitenoise avoids its main problem.

TL;DR: MLS security model is "Trust me bro".

Tldr on how white noise avoids the "main problem" (AS presumably)?

Here's what chatgpt summarised for me after a bit of back and forth.

Please do screenshots next time, thanks

We don't have an "Authentication service" that issues and verifies a user's identity. We use nostr pubkeys for identity.

I also think that we avoid the "participation privacy" issue that he mentions in the article but want to clarify what he means with him before claiming anything. 😉

Yes that's what I'm confused about. nostr:nprofile1qqsvnx99ww0sfall7gpv2jtz4ftc9v6wevgdd7g4hh7awkpfvwlezugpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsx06t26 identities are pubkeys too so what's the problem adopting MLS.
