Nostr provides censorship resistance through replication. You use multiple relays. If stuff is taken off one of those relays you are not censored, you just have 1 fewer replication points. At that point you go add another relay to your relay list.
I am not suggesting censorship, nor am I promoting it. I have no intention of sending anybody such a message. But I develop the chorus relay, and some operators will censor stuff, and I wanted to add code to make sure that when this does happen at least the person being censored finds out about it.
I am just wondering what is the best way to handle a large stack of DM messages to a friend list that should not be made public. do we giftwrap all of them or pick a select relay that is app specific for this stack of DMs?
the "right way" to do things on nostr feels like its moving and changing constantly so I am just asking
I'm not familiar enough with the DM chat NIPs to answer this with any confidence. @Vitor Pamplona and @hodlbod and @fiatjaf all know more than me about multi-party DM.
I don't know if I follow? Can't you just send each as a separate event?
You could but if a big stack of DMs goes to a large relay they can rate limit or block, as it can look like spam.

Just pick 2+ relays for your kind 10050 relay list and you should be good. Local backups are a good extra measure, either on a local relay or using a jsonl file.
