I have improved the terminology around NIP-29 group visibility and access. The problem I'm tackling is not of those groups that need e2e encrypted comms, but the ones that want a moderated place to talk and publish all kinds of content like chat, threads, polls, articles, wikis, etc.
Groups for gathering around common interests and goals like fitness, open source projects and relay-based communities fit this criteria. If you want and need maximum privacy you are better off not using nostr. I've heard SimpleX has great privacy but I'm not sufficiently acquainted with how it works to recommend it.
I started using the NIP terminology but I think this is way more clear. It has never been my intention to mislead anyone.

quoting nevent1q…8mpyThe problem with NIP-29 is that we're setting up users to get themselves into trouble.
Yes, most group don't need proper encrypted comms. But, for the ones that do, they REALLY do.
This sort of UX makes a user think that the group they're creating is actually private and actually secure, which it's not. Relays still have FULL visibility into what's going on in groups.
