MODERATORS
In my opinion, we really need decentralized, self-hosted infrastructure.
I kind of hope we get a Fediverse alternative for WhatsApp.
I imagine running some kind of relay node on a raspberry pi, for perhaps 20-100 acquaintances. All traffic would be anonymized and encrypted as much as possible. Push notifications replaced by polling. Anonymous broadcast groups that allow anonymous sending and receiving of messages without revealing either who is sending or who is receiving.
Everything wiped every few minutes on the relay node.
Others would also run relays that are then federated together.
ActivityPub isn't good for everything, especially for privacy. Luckily SimpleX exists.
