Although this is being portrayed as "social media", recall that the definition is *much* broader than that:

You could not message your children on Signal, or your own home XMPP service.

They could not lawfully contribute to, perhaps even read, a wiki.

No shared calendars with family.

And so on.

@neil This is why we need decentralised e2ee apps like Simplex Meshtastic Cwtch Briar Deltachat, become ungovernable

@ruari @FediThing Definitely a bit of a vanity project when his name is in the description of the product. He definitely could have just given $$$ to Briar to hire some people to build out an iOS version and help maintain.

@matt @ruari @FediThing Completely agree. Though I've been waiting for store and forward and multi-hop message relay on @briar for a while. I wonder how well Bitchat solves that, and if it can be an inspiration for the #Briar developers.

Today - 25 July - is the deadline for user-to-user services subject to the UK's Online Safety Act to have "highly effective age assurance" in place for UK users, if the site's content requires it. (Not all sites/content require age assurance.)

Please be careful, especially if you are in the UK.

Think before handing over ID documents, and be especially mindful of mistyped URLs and other scams, trying to obtain your personal data for phishing or blackmail purposes.

@neil Im concerned how this will affect decentralised social media like #simplexhttps://simplex.chat #briarhttps://briarproject.org & #cwtchhttps://docs.cwtch.im these services r so decentralised there aren't even servers that facilitate users directly its more like a participatory network infrastructure, its undeniably user-to-user but what are they going to do charge every simplex relay operator? Or every node in a briar mesh? Or r group moderators liable instead?

Bitchat, Jack Dorseys neuer Messenger, will Bluetooth-Chats ohne Internet und zentrale Server ermöglichen – verschlüsselt, anonym, dezentral. Klingt innovativ, ist aber längst nicht neu: Briar macht das seit Jahren, stabil und quelloffen. Der Hype um Bitchat wirkt eher wie ein PR-Vehikel.

It seems like an appropriate time to get acquainted with #offline / #p2p / #mesh communication… Does anybody have good recommendations for alternatives to #briar on iOS? thinking_fidget
