I personally don’t feed trolls. I mute liberally. I wish I could block a list of people from even seeing my posts. Privacy settings have been helpful with having a better experience as a woman on the internet.

Maybe the possibility of having a personal private invitation only relay and having the ability when posting a note to either publish only to your private relay or broadcast to all relays you use? Spitballing here.

Even if you only publish to a private relay, anyone with access to that relay could broadcast your notes to any other relay

Hmmm you would need a way to communicate which notes are from the private relay and shouldn’t be reposted. Then have to trust those you invite not to re-note. Communicating privately might just continue to be the easier way.

Private chat groups definitely a better solution

I was going to say..wouldnt this just be a group chat on Nostr?

There's chat features around topics, couldn't a private relay host one of these chats with a given hashtag or identifier?

Yeah. Private relays, communities, group chats. Already have that, in some clients.

Or just encrypt the notes themselves. Then you could mark some notes as private and only your follows can see them, or whatever.

It sounds like you may prefer a federated protocol like Mastadon.

yep that sounds mastodonish
