Private communications is not a technical problem curious.port111.com
@toddgrotenhuis Signal is good, and I've only done a little reading about, but I think:
Good - end to end encryption - Signal unable to see the content at all, so it can't be asked to filter or disclose
Bad - Still centralized servers, do DDoS, network blocking, gov takedown of the whole service possible - Not sure of their $ model, it takes a lot of money to run servers, networks
@eludom @toddgrotenhuis I'm trying to understand nostr arcitecture. Here's a good thread that goes into some of it, as well as long discussions about the social issues, prior art (KaZaA, IRC, etc) and the problems they faced:
@eludom true. There is some sense of distributed resiliency in that the protocol is implemented multiple places, not just in Signal itself.
@toddgrotenhuis My understanding was that the client code is available, but signal does not publish their server code?
