Oddbean new post about login | logout So how do you feel about trustless messengers? #cwtch #tox #retroshare
Ultimately any app that offers privacy and anonymity with doxxed devs is at risk of gov pressure. Using simplex now, best there is that I can see
Interesting you say that. No one seems to know who wrote #retroshare which seems to worry some people, but you may be right. Some think the developer of #muwire -the #i2p based client - abandoned the project rather than kowtow to #Govt
I was not aware of either of those projects. Thank you. The way to dev is to dev without a governable structure (no company, foundation, not for profit, etc) and anonymously. Strange to think simple messenger apps may be targets for gov intervention .
It's worth noting, there are completely censorship resistant communication systems, but they're more effort. If I send you the public key by email and then send the private key as a QR code later, no one else even knows the server exists. https://image.nostr.build/51cea1ed61b5f2cbd775cc6bc4d9fb4b2fce03db8e34b9c42428027009380c2c.png
