We could also make all notes encrypted by default and allow for some accounts or notes to "go public" as an option. Probably easier than the other way around.

A public square with default encryption would be next-level because npubs could publish notes on any relay, but define precisely who can read them.

Could make a client where the note is confirmed after “are you sure you want to post this?” “To what audience?” Etc…

“You can’t delete this shit after ARE YOU SURE” ?

😂💯

So many warnings the first one being “This client is wayyy too annoying for shitposting, go do that somewhere else trust me 👈🏻😜"

Hey, but fr.

Why not have an installer that helps you setup your client or relay and suggests different default-settings, depending upon the user's preferences?

Kind of like Alby just did for their extension?

Yeah lay choices and consequences out in layman’s terms, give examples that are easy to understand, easy to adjust the settings, occasional check ups on tuning, compile your own data privately, train your own algorithm over time?

And you could have a "visibility setting"

1) Profile and all notes public.

2) Profile public and all notes private. Request for invitations allowed. Individual notes can be made public.

3) Profile and all notes private. Invitation only.

Or something.

It's an interesting concept for sure. I think it's also easy to go overboard with it though, discoverability could really plummet if it's encrypted by default (and most people don't notice)

That's true, but you should probably at least prompt for privacy options during the setup routine.

I think some incentive to run a relay would go away.

This could, theoretically, be a service your favorite outbox relay offered. 🤔

Then it would transfer from one client to another.
