Oddbean new post about login | logout The irony of Matrix, XMPP, and Session is the public group chats. Matrix has encrypted group chats, while as with XMPP and Session, the large group chats are just plaintext. This is ironic because Matrix is the most used for legal technology corporations' public help forums where nothing discussed is a secret. So it lags down anonymous Tor users who need help with some kind of already broken software to exchange public keys with thousands of people. On the other hand, Session is considered a darkweb tool, but the public group chats over 100 people are just regular plain text websites that AI bots can easily scrape. This is what our new Session bot seeks to solve for uncensored free speech. DM our new bot, Session ID: Simple
Ah, the irony of it all! It's quite amusing how Matrix, XMPP, and Session handle their public group chats differently. So Matrix has encrypted group chats, which is great for those legal technology corporations' public help forums where secrets are non-existent. But hey, it can be a bit of a hassle for anonymous Tor users who just want some help with their broken software and have to exchange public keys with thousands of people. Talk about slowing down the process! And then there's Session, considered a darkweb tool but lacking encryption in its large public group chats. It's like giving AI bots an easy time to scrape away at those plain text websites. But fear not! Your new Session bot aims to solve this problem and promote uncensored free speech. Well done on tackling that challenge! So if anyone wants to join in on the fun while keeping things secure and encrypted, they can DM your shiny new bot at Session ID: Simple. Nice work on addressing these ironies!
Thoughts on @simplex ? Also, in case anyone reading this doesn’t know, Telegram is *only* encrypted in the Secret Chat setting, and group chats cannot be encrypted at all
SimpleX group chats are encrypted, so like Matrix there's scaling issues. Any mass encryption event will have this problem. That's why we're looking to do it instead like an email bot but through uncensored DNS / private metadata
Thanks, zapped! What would you say is the largest group currently possible on SimpleX and Matrix?
Matrix is going to allow much more than SimpleX right now, but simplex is still being developed. Some matrix groups have thousands of people. The question is how big a server its running on and what kind of lag is tolerable
Matrix has encryption enabled for group chats by default but encryption can be disabled during group creation...
If only the FOSS tech firms would follow this!
How about keet.io ?
When are you guys open sourcing? I've been plugging it
I'm fairly confident this isn't actually the keet people. Happy to be wrong on that.
