#PrivateSocialMedia

You share your images and posts with only a group of people, but noone other can see it. Not even who hosts it.

Do we have this?

I was just thinking the same thing when I stumbled upon this post. Unfortunately outside the realm of my current abilities but do imagine it would be possible if a group were to be created with a public/private key pair. Each message encrypted with both the group and individual public keys.

You can do so with a private relay and only invite specific users. But you have to publish your note specifically to that relay only. I dont know that there is any utility to optimize this though.

Good idea. Though, as you might said between the lines, it has shortcommings. Not optmized.

If I think of my close friends and relatives, there are 2 groups of users:

- Posting for their friends and family only.

- Posting for social media marketing.

I think for group one, such a private social media, where they can share only with their friends, and really only their friends get to see, it has a privacy benefit. Also you might post more to your friends, if you know only they can see it.

Your answer is lockbox. It's a relay type where only those who you follow can see the notes you save to that relay.

FUTO circles used to be this, before they killed it
