we don't need any more secure messaging tools, and we especially don't need insecure messaging tools that masquerade as secure ones (hi Matrix!)

what we need is a decentralized replacement for *insecure* chat.

the reality is that organizers should be using signal. it's a solved problem, and signal solves it in a way that is really difficult for the average person to hurt themselves.

but Discord, Inc. is a much larger threat to free speech for the everyday user. those everyday users need 1 to many broadcast messaging, and they don't particularly *care* about end-to-end encryption.

@ariadne part of me wants to say IRC but the systems we have are about the opposite of optimised for using IRC as that insecure broadcast chat thing, and IRC itself is centralized #krokodili
