A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This system is federated.
The blockchain means that you can access your encrypted messages even if your server goes down.
you and everyone can access those encrypted messages. You are the only one that can decrypt them, sure, but as others have already mentioned, the history of encrypted messages is almost as bad as the actual content.
Not everyone can access the encrypted messages. Only nodes with channel members can access them.
And everything is encrypted apart from the timestamp, so without decryption you can't really learn much.
