Do you think it's fundamentally wrong for groups without encryption to exist in the world? Or do you just think NIP-29 is misleading people?
Because to me it looks very obvious from the screenshot that the groups are not encrypted, only require authentication, I can't think of anything less misleading.
I tried to make it super obvious what public/private and open/closed mean, perhaps the terminology is misleading? should I add a disclaimer saying that messages are not encrypted? I thought that part was clear but I might be wrong.
btw, no knock on Chachi.chat. It's a really nice client! It's just that I can see lots of user's using NIP-29 groups thinking that they're actually private, just how most people that use Telegram think it's private. This would be a bad outcome IMO.
No, it’s definitely not fundamentally wrong to have auth only groups but to a non technical user the difference between auth and encryption is not at all clear.
I think nip-29 clients need to go above and beyond to make it overly clear what the trade offs are. Relays being able to read your “private” group messages is a pretty big caveat.
You can use your own relay so yeah it's not encrypted but nobody else can see it afaik
