sup. is an open source encrypted fediverse instant messenger, similar to whatsapp, made by pixelfed.
The beta will be launching later this month, and btw most fediverse accounts will work, not just Pixelfed 😉
sup? I thought it was for email

@dansup is it decentralized as well?
@dansup So, a Fediverse node, but with only DMs enabled?
@dansup Do you have any details about the encryption protocol? Is it E2EE?
The mobile app is written in React Native, and the backend in async PHP (surprisingly high perf).
Both client and server code will be open sourced when we release the beta, and we'll target F-Droid support and TestFlight!
I will maintain the primary sup. server, but you will be able to run your own, and connect from the app easily!
@dansup has anyone actually reviewed this for security?
@dansup hook me up with the opportunity to test. Maybe Thunderbird should support Sup.
@dansup Sounds exciting!
@dansup Glad to see the pixelfed team is working hard on improving the fediverse by delivering on long awaited features !
@dansup The idea is great, but why a new project? With MLS becoming a thing, supposed to support federation and being better in every way than the signal protocol, while the matrix protocol is an option as well. I've never heard that activityPub is famous for encryption and all the fediverse apps I know support direct (instand?) messaging, but never end to end encrypted.
@dansup oh this seems pretty cool
