  Could be a fantastic way to replace dm, that’s my first thought.

    I remember idly wondering how DMs worked in Lemmy, and I was kinda shocked when I realized they aren’t secure.

      “secure” is relative. They may not be e2e encrypted, but they are still encrypted via TLS, like any HTTPS traffic. It’s the same encryption used for online banking. If you care about your instance admin being able to read your messages, you should use Signal or a Matrix client though.

      But remember that only a few years ago, almost nobody used e2e encryption, and it wasn’t much of an issue.

  Double rachet encryption protocol is also rather dope

  I personally hate the name, but only because I had a roommate in college who would start every conversation with “sup.”

  On text messages, IMs, in person, you name it. It really started to get under my skin.

  But I hope the software is good.
