  • No End-to-End Encrypted Fediverse?

    Jump

  • There's nothing conflicting about it. It's not a public timeline, it's "public" only to people you've added, no one else, including the server that would host your content.

    Basically old Facebook (sharing just to your friends), without the spying, is what I'm asking for.

    You would manage who can access what, by allowing/not allowing people to follow you

    It's not a group abstraction, at least for the user, since you're not asking everyone to join the same group, and see each other's content. Only yours, and in turn theirs.

    Matrix is basically a group chat with bells and whistles, which is really nice, but isn't what I'm looking for.

  • A way to share things online, end-to-end encrypted to a wide-audience that knows you but doesn't necessarily know each other.

    This is why messaging apps don't fulfil this requirement, and chat rooms (like Matrix) also don't fit.

  • if you self-host it

    This is antithetical to mass adoption if to get end-to-end encryption you need to self host :/

    I'm not saying the service you've shared is bad, just it's not what I'm looking for

  • Yes, I'm saying Matrix doesn't satisfy my requirements of what I'm looking for, sadly :/

  • Damn, thank you for this response, I really appreciate it. This does make sense, and I do not understand a lot of the technical details, or how this problem would be solved. I just wish it was haha

    The circles project, at least claims, to be built on top of Matrix, where everyone who you accept to follow you essentially joins a seperate matrix room with your content in it, and the "timeline" compilation is done via UI.

    Can't say I understand what happens technically when someone is kicked from a matrix room, so what what happen with the encryption keys I dunno.

  • Yeah I considered Friendica, but I believe it's not end-to-end encrypted :/

    Thanks though!

  • Are the blogs end-to-end encrypted? It seemed to imply that they are public.

    Futo Circles describes what I'm after well: "a good way to share things with lots of people who don't all know each other, but they all know you."

    This is where going a group is not what I'm after, as that's what Matrix would be good for.

  • Yeah I've seen these photo storage apps, they are neato but not what I'm looking for unfortunately, and I already use Signal for e2ee messaging

    Really wish Futo Circles wasn't abandoned :(

  • Oh neato, thanks for sharing. Hope some other kind soul takes it up (and takes my donation money :3)

  • Appreciate you taking the time to reply, but this isn't what I'm looking for

    At least I couldn't find any mention of end-to-end encryption outside messaging.

    And it doesn't appear to be timeline (i.e. you post and anyone who you've connected with can see it), it's fully public blogs, private (but no mention of e2ee) chatrooms, and videoconferencing.

  • Unfortunately none of these are end-to-end encrypted (I believe). Thanks though!

  • Nooooooo! That sounded perfect. The app is still up but it's entirely missing from their website :(

    Thanks for sharing

  • Close, but it appears admins of instances have access to your info, sadly :/

  • My problem with decentralised social Media currently is that it's entirely unencrypted and publically viewable.

    I don't mind so much on services like Lemmy where it's a bit of fun to make comments and post random things without it being directly linked to your identity (though I am aware the content is still likely being scraped by someone somewhere).

    I'd really love a Facebook/Instagram replacement, but end-to-end encrypted where only the people you've given permission to can view your content.

    No idea how this would be achieved, but PixelFed is pretty useless unless you're posting publically.

  • I've only ever seen this slander towards salads coming from the US, so I have to ask, are salads trash in the US?

    Do people imagine eating healthily is eating only lettuce (it isn't)?

    I don't get it

  • This song is near and dear to my heart after having only heard it a handful of times before

    Though, the problems described are not from the project managers, it's the higher ups and owners squeezing every last cent, with disregard for the people who will be killed.

    So, so many unnecessary deaths because someone wanted to save money and cut corners in my industry.

    This is why people who advocate for small government and lax regulations, are idiots

  • I don't work in software, I'm a chemical (aka process) engineer.

    Some project managers are superfluous if they don't have a background being an engineer of some discipline themselves, but the vast majority I've worked with are excellent because they have a working knowledge of everything required to progress each stage of the project, and deal with most of the client interactions.

    Being able to say: "we've done x, but we still need y, z and aa to progress" and then the project manager organising this getting done together with the other discipline leads is a godsend, letting you focus on doing the actual calculations/design/nitty-gritty details. And the fact they manage the annoying role of dealing with clients and the disagreements around that is also great.

    This is working as a consultant, but I imagine if you replace clients with higher ups, I'd imagine the same still applies.

    Perhaps things are very different in software, but I do think there is some use for them.

    But I've never had one check up every 15 mins, more like once a day, and only if something is very time sensitive. Otherwise it's once a week, or by email as required.

  • Expedient texting. Or hanging out, but over distance.

    Riddle me this, call not-likers: what is the difference between calling your friend, over the phone, and calling them on your teamspeak of choice (or whatever is popular these days).

    Is it the impromptu nature of it? Just don't answer when it's not convenient then, it's not the 90s, they can follow up with a text if you can't pick up.

    Is it the talking to people in general? Then I fail to see why calls are the issue.

    This is assuming you know the personal calling, via callerID.

    Is it you feel more rushed and flustered because you can't see each other, and thus can't pick up on visual cues?

    All in all, thoroughly confused why people have an aversion to calls, I think they're rather expedient and useful. Depending on what's called for. (I feel this way in both work and social contexts).
