I honestly truly believe that the defining difference between free and unfree countries in the future will be whether people own their own keys.

3/ Everyone in crypto uses Telegram, which is UNENCRYPTED 😱
Why?
Because encrypted messengers are mid.
And encrypted messengers for communities are nonexistent.
@Ashoat has built the solution with @CommDotApp 👇

If there’s one thing I want people to understand it’s this
Comm@CommDotApp
say it with me: privacy requires personal servers
English
@pr4y3rh4nd5 @GrantSlatton @CommDotApp We've def spent time thinking about social sharding, but haven't had time to implement it. That's one of the reasons we believe that the keyserver needs to have a social layer... cryptography ultimately needs to be built around human behavior
English
Are there any projects that are like "Urbit but not kind-of insane" ?
The idea of an encrypted VM with a lot of useful primitives for building apps/payments/social is brilliant, but Urbit itself is kind of wonky from a technical POV

@LeetAlpaca3 @CommDotApp RE clients being out-of-spec, we're taking a Signal-like approach on that. We have one first-class client, and aren't focused on interop.
IMO there's no way to build a low-friction experience with a fractured client ecosystem...
English
@CommDotApp I am so happy that when I meet new people these days, I can just ask for their Signal and they almost always have it
Maybe some day this will be true for Cwtch or Matrix or you guys too :)
English
@LeetAlpaca3 @CommDotApp RE socmed, P2P, XMPP, etc I have my own opinion.
Users will never take a tradeoff for privacy. The product needs to be JUST AS GOOD (or better) as the non-private option.
The only way to get there is with personal servers. Without them, you're limited to Signal functionality.
English
@LeetAlpaca3 @CommDotApp Love that you've read that piece from Moxie. I think it's important to recognize the tradeoffs he calls out... until people run their own servers, E2EE will be limited to Signal-like functionality, with all of Signal's tradeoffs around backup / discoverability / scale
English
@LeetAlpaca3 @CommDotApp RE an audit, we use the Olm library for E2EE, which has been audited. Can also share a draft of our whitepaper if that's interesting
English
@CommDotApp - Sorry this is probably frustrating, but as a user I’m going to be skeptical of any E2EE product that hasn’t gotten a full audit. I am much more worried about client side security than snoopy employees
English
@GSkrovina @adamxlee @zjbrenner We're working on this at @CommDotApp. Big focus is nailing the inbox workflow for community messaging – 100% agree that email is still the best inbox. Would love to chat!
English
We need a better options for community messaging platforms.
Slack feels too corporate and stale.
Discord feels too overwhelming and complex.
Where’s the middle ground between these platforms and a group text?
English
This is why we need E2E encryption.
Crazy that they want to charge a teen for a joke in a group chat
Cate Hall@catehall
This story is wild: a teenager joked in a private group chat “On my way to blow up the plane (I'm a member of the Taliban).” Message was intercepted over airport WiFi, reported to Spanish intel which scrambled jets, he’s now on the hook for $120k
