Public Nostr relays make sense for data you want to be public.
Using public relays for private, sensitive data is a recipe for disaster, regardless of how well the encryption of $new_fangled_thing seems to work currently.
Giving birth to new software is painful.
It's only a matter of time until someone finds a bug and all your data is leaked.
Especially because, with Nostr data stored in a relay, there's nothing you can do to replay those artifacts to strengthen their encryption when a weakness is found.
Agree or disagree?
