Building a messenger that knows nothing about you. No phone number. No email. No metadata — not even when you talk or who you talk to.

Open source (GPL-3.0/AGPL-3.0), E2EE (X3DH + Double Ratchet, keys never leave your device), built by one person, in public.

This account documents the journey.

Snapchat now displays personalized ads directly in your chats. Your personal data, such as your phone number and app usage, is used for personalization.

This post is about 7 months old, and #HolosSocial went far beyond it since. It now has #E2EE DMs with the Signal protocol, and real identity portability. You can use a custom domain so your identity rests on your own name and keys, and keep your media on your own cloud. Leaving a relay is no longer a migration, you just point your domain elsewhere and keep going. This remains optional, you have time to discover the app and enable things later that will give you full independence on #ActivityPub.

Discord wdrożył E2EE w rozmowach głosowych i wideo. Za bezpieczeństwo danych odpowiada autorski protokół DAVE

Platformy Discord zapewne nie trzeba nikomu przedstawiać. Każdy uczestnik Sekurak.Academy doskonale ją zna i chętnie prowadzi dyskusje za jej pośrednictwem. Choć pierwotnie platforma powstała jako bezpłatna aplikacji do komunikacji tekstowej, głosowej i wideo, skupiająca głównie środowisko graczy.
