Do you know at what group size it starts being slow? Or any group and the experience is terrible?
Discussion
I don't have the exact numbers. It also depends on your connection speed too. Around 1,000 it breaks down is my guess. Easy to DoS something like that. Just create a ton of profiles and connect till the group is unusable.
1000! 😅
For 5-10 people it should be fine then
Yes. But all active groups in the directory are slow now.
Ah got it. So maybe just a few small groups would be ok
Yeah, but if you want 1K people to see your posts. Then Nostr is a lot faster.
Ah now I understand. You use it a bit like the huge telegram groups. I was thinking of a use case just to DM 1on1 or with a small group of people, less than 10 people.
Yeah, groups is the killer feature many people installed telegram. Nostr adds easy IP obfuscation and no phone number requirement.
For 1on1 I just use whatsapp or sms cause that's where the people are.
