if damus had solid group chat support, and it was pretty simple for me to run my own private relay, and group chat participants could very simply choose to only send their group chat messages through only that private relay

then, i could maybe convince my friends to move our group chat onto nostr, and it would be completely sovereign

only blocker would be that everyone else my friends message (other group chats etc) are all on fb messenger so they lose the convenience of having all their chats in one place

hmmm
