I think all we need is for some clients to support 1) browsing the feed from a single relay (some already do) and 2) posting an event to a specific relay. Then I can join the Cooking relay and send my notes about cooking only there.

I don’t think tightly coupling groups (public or private) to relays is a good idea in the long run, but in these early days I think it would be a great way to approximate Facebook-style groups.

I’ve heard #[2] mention this as well. Curious to hear his thoughts.

I really hope this isn't what the future of nostr looks like. It seems like a re-invention of a web forum.

What I hope nostr becomes is a global public commons; what twitter should have been but failed to be. It should definitely support ways for users to slice, dice, group, filter and make community. But it should also allow for an un-siloed connectivity between anyone and anyone and/or anyone and everyone.

I also think it would be great for private groups to separately create their own private nostr networks wherever and whenever they want. They would be separate from the wider, global nostr network like a LAN is separate from the interwebs, though using the same plumbing.
