Instead of sending multiple messages to group chat participants, MLS allows for a single publish that everyone in the group can access, knowing where to look.
Could group chats scale infinitely with this approach?

People often wrongly assume that on nostr, all the relays must store all the data.
This would inevitably lead to centralization.
Thankfully, nostr is built different, as nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 explains in BR080.
What is Nostr's topology?
Imagine it like a bunch of websites (relays) serving different content. You connect to specific relays for the content you want, like an open market of data exchange.
