Closed Community Networks will be the replacement for WhatsApp, for the whole world
Discussion
What do you mean by closed community networks?
Imagine invite-only end to end encrypted spaces (with nostr relays acting as a communication layer) for a community of people.
Everything is encrypted, in a provable way, and everything is stored not on some server, but on your device/across the devices of the community members.
I think 0xChat has this group function already…or maybe it’s SimpleX chat…
There are already a couple clients that offer this…I just saw someone post one a few weeks ago, I just don’t recall the exact app name
That's only a chat functionality, I believe there's more to a community than just the ability to send simple messages, imagine an invite-only forum, an invite-only marketplace, or decision making platform. Everything still being encrypted e2e, so the forum messages are only visible to the members of your CCN, the decisions are only between your CCN members and that's the same for everything else you can think of. Videos, music, doesn't matter. It's all there for your Closed Community Network.
There will even be the ability to run lightning nodes controlled by the whole community
