@dansup This is cool, and I can't wait to test it, but unless it can magically federate with WhatsApp/iMessage/etc. or you manage to convince my aunts and uncles to switch, it's just another app in a crowded space that missed the network effect by about 10 years.

I think that at this point the only viable solution to #opensource #messaging is to lobby the EU so that it forces the big players to #federate.

@dansup I've only ever used WhatsApp so forgive my possibly ignorant question, but could I message my WhatsApp contacts through this, or would we all need to be on the same platform?

@dansup is this p2p, quantum cracking safe, reproducible, and self hostable

@davidrudie now you gotta make this

@dansup

Can you set up a crowdfunding site for interested folks like me to chip in to pay for a third-party security review / audit?

This sounds amazing, but some extra eyes on the implementation to sign off on its robustness would be appreciated before I start relying on its E2EE.

@dansup great name, but don't think I'll be in need of something like this. Just recently started using Beeper and really enjoying it. Maybe there will be a bridge in the future.

@dansup Sounds cool!

@dansup @pixelfed this sounds great!

@dansup Oh wow, was literally thinking about something like this for the past few months. Just being able to IM someone with just their fediverse handle. Encryption too!

@dansup

what about @matrix ?

@dansup is it a Matrix client, or is it something completely separate? If it is the latter, why was it decided to not integrate with existing ecosystems?

@dansup really, really love the name.

@dansup why not a simple matrix integration?

@dansup It would be super helpful if Pixelfed Implemented the ability to edit posts, before losing focus on entirely new projects.

@dansup so it’s matrix, but using a different protocol?

@dansup I had no luck with Signal, I guess because Play Store is deactivated on my phone, as I’m trying to keep it sanitized before I can install Lineage OS, so I'm reeeeeally excited to this beta release. Thank you!

@dansup As someone who always wants to test new encrypted messaging platforms (weird hobby, I know..) this is exciting to me.

@dansup inb4 I'll need to have a 4th account, in addition to mastodon, lemmy, and pixelfed.

@ola What do you think? Could coyim implement activityPub?

@dansup

I honestly thought you were starting an announcement with "'sup?" XD
