 I guess we will have to have the 3 things at the same time:

- for sufficiently-safe good UX 1-on-1 DMs, NIP-17
- for paranoid people and encrypted group chats, NIP-whatever MLS stuff
- for public groups that anyone can read, Telegram or Discord style, NIP-29

 NIP-whatever MLS stuff also solves for the Telegram broadcast group use case as well 😉

 How? By making the encryption keys public?

 No there is a mechanism (via an extension) to join a group without an invite. With really basic admin permissions (which I’m adding as part of NIP-104) you can limit who can post or not. 

That said, it’s probably overkill to use mls here.

 Interested in Discord style, but NIP-29 with its single relay approach doesn't seem to be the solution.

-"No, there's not much difference."
