It will be open source, end to end encrypted using Signal’s double ratchet encryption protocol, and he plans to make it easy for fediverse platforms to integrate it. The beta will release later this month.

He’s also the creator of https://fedidb.org btw

    I find it interesting that people who don’t really think about these things much often have a default sentiment that everyone on a single platform is better.

    It’s especially true of people who just exploit platforms for attention. It breaks the rules they have built up in their heads about how to be important and have status.

    Just kinda thinking out loud here.

      No one thinks that. We just think having everyone on a different platform is bad.

        Can you clarify the nuance you are pointing out? I really have heard multiple people assume they will be forced to be on every platform if multiple platforms become active/popular. They express they think a single platform is preferable.

          I explained this in another comment. I don’t want to have to keep 20 chat apps on my phone just to talk to my friends and family. I don’t want another one. Pretty simple.

            Oh, I see. I got way off track and was thinking about Social Media not messengers. Apologies.
