NIP-29 is lowkey the most hated NIP because it reverses the "smart client, dumb relay" assumption and is centralized by design. NIP-29 is private property, not a public square. The relay as the authority (who can read, who can poast, etc.) is a feature for this use case, not a bug. Incentivises running your own relay. Makes writing clients simpler. Your house, your rules.
The NIP-72 approach is naive, clunky, bandwidth and computation intensive, mostly poorly implemented and a dead end for what NIP-29 tries to accomplish.
NIP-29 is pragmatic, not purist. Keep hatin' but imma keep building on it.
Lol I know what nip29 is. It's anti-nostr
"Relay-based groups"
Do you mean NIP-22 comments i-tagging the relay URL?
