Isn't it already?

I thought the same thing, what's the difference?

No interest. Drop the baggage and build anew.

i just mean the idea of a private social network for you and your friends/family. There is no nostr app that does that atm.

Can't that be accomplished by a private chat group?

Private chat group on a private relay?

With E2E encryption, the relay does not need to be private, unless you also want to hide any chat metadata.

Good point

Ah, gotcha. In that case, I’d say something like Path would better fit that bill and be valuable.

Private relay can help

yeah client already can support this, the missing part is there is no private relay running/it is hard for people to run one

We shouldn’t copy ridiculous social media platforms like that one.
