I thought we already had Matrix

Well now this sounds interesting. And I assume it's open source?

this is misleading and sensationalistic. if emissary implements e2ee, it's not "e2ee for the fediverse", it's " e2ee for emissary users". did mastodon talk about e2ee? did lemmy?

also the MLS-in-activitypub draft proposes for trusted key exchange either " trust the server" (lmao), use a centralized key authority (wow) or have users manually verify their keys out of band (so basically use matrix to assure your chat is encrypted). source: https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-e2ee/architectural-variations.html#validating-end-to-end-encryption

fedi devs need to stop clickbaiting, and fedi users should learn a bit more about their protocol to avoid getting misled this way

I have a bit of an issue with the title, considering federated end to end encrypted messaging has existed since, at the latest, 1991.

MLS will eventually be included in all messengers.

It was initially introduced by Wire as an RFC, but they fumbled the federation by making it an enterprise only feature. Because of that, other messengers will do the federating for them. iMessage, Google Messenger, Matrix, and Germ DM (Bluesky) do or partly have it implemented.

We should always have more alternatives to chose from - good to see so many players.

Finally I can discuss my scat fetish with my fellow scat enthusiasts away from the prying eyes of the NSA!

Nyeh-heh heh heeh!

@benpate@mastodon.technology that's amazingly quick work after just under four weeks. I'm looking forward to the result.

Why?

What benefit does this have over Signal/Matrix?

The article just says "improvements".

Major League Soccer messaging? Let’s goooo

But, what about Session? It's decentralized, E2EE, uses Lokinet, seems pretty solid, no?
