 Relay feeds could be so much better than this: https://www.collabfc.com/ 
 are you showing this because it's a fork of soapbox?   
 No. 
 Uh is it? /cc @Alex Gleason 🐍🚬  
 Any idea what is holding that idea back? 
 I'd say lack of people. 
 lack of memes then; or too much meme 
 That seems to be the common theme. 
 people are almost always the problem. 
 Relay feeds you say? Like this that I'm trying to advocate for? Apologies for the wall of text - been strongly advocating for it the past few days.

 I don't know if I get what you're saying because it's too many words, but essentially I agree.

NIP-29 is different, it's for more closed groups, they deserve a separate client even, very different from the "public square" microblogging use case of Nostr.

Relay feeds and dedicated or niche relays, on the other hand, would fit well in the normal microblogging use case. 
 The use case i imagine, open to watch but permissioned to write communities. Facilitated by relay feeds.

group A, group B, write to their own set of white listed relays independent of each other. Conversational and communtity "security".

Group C pulls in events from both group A and B, comments on their content and extends the work done, but only on their relays while A and B can do whatever they want without being intruded on or having their signal muddied by thousands of forks, edits and comments they don't care about. 
 What has Mastodon done right? 
 It's sad that you don't know. No wonder Nostr sucks so much . Nostr devs needs to examine the competition first....This speaks a lot. 

1. Simple Administrative Controls.
2. Local Communities and Federated Timelines.
3. Functional Web Clients
4. Real Federation with other instances 
5. Built-in support for Media uploads
6. Custom Emojis
7. Really good server backends unlike our crappy relay software 

There is so much more that I can't name them all  
 I agree with 2. 
 To be fair, Alex Gleason is doing most of this with Ditto now. he gets it.
