|
|
|
|
This NIP defines new event kinds for public chat channels, channel messages, and basic client-side moderation.
|
|
|
|
It reserves five event kinds (40-44) for immediate use:
|
|
|
|
- `40 - channel create`
|
|
- `41 - channel metadata`
|
|
- `42 - channel message`
|
|
- `43 - hide message`
|
|
- `44 - mute user`
|
|
|
|
Client-centric moderation gives client developers discretion over what types of content they want included in their apps, while imposing no additional requirements on relays.
|
|
|
|
## Kind 40: Create channel
|
|
|
|
Create a public chat channel.
|
|
|
|
In the channel creation `content` field, Client SHOULD include basic channel metadata (`name`, `about`, `picture` as specified in kind 41).
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"content": "{\"name\": \"Demo Channel\", \"about\": \"A test channel.\", \"picture\": \"https://placekitten.com/200/200\"}",
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Kind 41: Set channel metadata
|
|
|
|
Update a channel's public metadata.
|
|
|
|
Clients and relays SHOULD handle kind 41 events similar to kind 0 `metadata` events.
|
|
|
|
Clients SHOULD ignore kind 41s from pubkeys other than the kind 40 pubkey.
|
|
|
|
Clients SHOULD support basic metadata fields:
|
|
|
|
- `name` - string - Channel name
|
|
- `about` - string - Channel description
|
|
- `picture` - string - URL of channel picture
|
|
|
|
Clients MAY add additional metadata fields.
|
|
|
|
Clients SHOULD use [NIP-10](10.md) marked "e" tags to recommend a relay.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"content": "{\"name\": \"Updated Demo Channel\", \"about\": \"Updating a test channel.\", \"picture\": \"https://placekitten.com/201/201\"}",
|
|
"tags": [["e", <channel_create_event_id>, <relay-url>]],
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Kind 42: Create channel message
|
|
|
|
Send a text message to a channel.
|
|
|
|
Clients SHOULD use [NIP-10](10.md) marked "e" tags to recommend a relay and specify whether it is a reply or root message.
|
|
|
|
Clients SHOULD append [NIP-10](10.md) "p" tags to replies.
|
|
|
|
Root message:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"content": <string>,
|
|
"tags": [["e", <kind_40_event_id>, <relay-url>, "root"]],
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Reply to another message:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"content": <string>,
|
|
"tags": [
|
|
["e", <kind_40_event_id>, <relay-url>, "root"],
|
|
["e", <kind_42_event_id>, <relay-url>, "reply"],
|
|
["p", <pubkey>, <relay-url>],
|
|
...
|
|
],
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Kind 43: Hide message
|
|
|
|
User no longer wants to see a certain message.
|
|
|
|
The `content` may optionally include metadata such as a `reason`.
|
|
|
|
Clients SHOULD hide event 42s shown to a given user, if there is an event 43 from that user matching the event 42 `id`.
|
|
|
|
Clients MAY hide event 42s for other users other than the user who sent the event 43.
|
|
|
|
(For example, if three users 'hide' an event giving a reason that includes the word 'pornography', a Nostr client that is an iOS app may choose to hide that message for all iOS clients.)
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"content": "{\"reason\": \"Dick pic\"}",
|
|
"tags": [["e", <kind_42_event_id>]],
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Kind 44: Mute user
|
|
|
|
User no longer wants to see messages from another user.
|
|
|
|
The `content` may optionally include metadata such as a `reason`.
|
|
|
|
Clients SHOULD hide event 42s shown to a given user, if there is an event 44 from that user matching the event 42 `pubkey`.
|
|
|
|
Clients MAY hide event 42s for users other than the user who sent the event 44.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"content": "{\"reason\": \"Posting dick pics\"}",
|
|
"tags": [["p", <pubkey>]],
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## NIP-10 relay recommendations
|
|
|
|
For [NIP-10](10.md) relay recommendations, clients generally SHOULD use the relay URL of the original (oldest) kind 40 event.
|
|
|
|
Clients MAY recommend any relay URL. For example, if a relay hosting the original kind 40 event for a channel goes offline, clients could instead fetch channel data from a backup relay, or a relay that clients trust more than the original relay.

Motivation
|
|
----------
|
|
If we're solving censorship-resistant communication for social media, we may as well solve it also for Telegram-style messaging.
|
|
|
|
We can bring the global conversation out from walled gardens into a true public square open to all.
