  5. PC Mag: Mastodon Plans End-to-End Encryption for Private Messages. “Decentralized social media platform Mastodon plans on adopting its own end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for private messages. Mastodon announced the upcoming feature in a blog post about receiving €614,000 ($724,000) from the Sovereign Tech Fund, an effort backed by the German government to support open-source software.”

  7. E2EE is coming to Mastodon. And it’s long overdue. Not until next year, but at least it’s on the horizon.

    On one hand, it’s a little scary seeing Mastodon features receiving large sums of money for features and improvements. On the other, it’s meaningful to see Mastodon maturing.

  9. Is this a #secure #MessagingApp? Maybe not yet, but it’s time to think about #DigitalPrivacy.

    Imagine a #Messaging platform that’s as #secure as #Signal but requires #NoRegistration and #NoInstallation. By leveraging #WebRTC for direct #BrowserToBrowser communication, this #OpenSource project eliminates the #Middleman entirely. Simply share a unique #URL to establish an #Encrypted #PrivateChannel. It is a #Lightweight, #Disposable method to bypass #DataHarvesting and reclaim #DigitalSovereignty.

    This project introduces a new #Paradigm in #ClientSide managed #Encryption. Send #Secure messages with #NoSetup, #NoCloud, and #NoTrace.

    Experience the #Features:
    * #PWA (#ProgressiveWebApp) for instant access
    * #P2P (#PeerToPeer) connectivity
    * #EndToEndEncryption (#E2EE)
    * #SignalProtocol & #PostQuantum #Cryptography
    * #Multimedia, #FileTransfer, & #VideoCalls
    * #NoDatabase & #Stateless architecture
    * #TURN server support for reliable connections

    While not yet a direct replacement for #Simplex or #WhatsApp, this introduces a unique approach to #SecureCommunication.

  17. I started building Brappr because I got tired of how normal it has become to track users, store metadata, and profile behavior.

    Brappr is an experiment in calm communication:
    private messaging with strong encryption, and a separate public space where people can share content and ideas without algorithmic pressure or identity collapse.

    I’m curious how others feel about privacy-first spaces for communication and discussions.

    Progress update:

    - UI improvements throughout
    - Passkey-based encrypted data at rest.
    - Introducing giphy integration
    - Bug fixes throughout

    NOTE: This is still a work-in-progress and a close-source project. Its far from finished and doesnt have the user-experience needed to promote the project to a wider audience. The implementation is based on the open source MVP seen here: github.com/positive-intentions. It has NOT been audited or reviewed. For testing purposes only, not a replacement for your current messaging app.

    I recently introduced [metered.ca](metered.ca) for the STUN/TURN servers and the stability has hugely improved and so i'd like to ask for your feedback if you'd like to try it out.

    Demo: p2p.positive-intentions.com/if

    Data isnt persisted (yet), so each page refresh will clear all keys.

    (IMPORTANT: For testing and demo purposes only. This is a work-in-progress and far from finished. It has not been reviewed or audited. Do not use it for sensitive data.)

  32. @avoca @Ketakater I also got all of my family and a lot of my wider circle on it using these two strategies:

    1. Getting a device that simply does not have #Whatsapp / proprietary messaging apps, i.e.: #Linuxmobile: #Flx1, #LibertyPhone, #Librem5, #Jolla2c, etc. People typically won't care enough about #privacy but they will understand if WA simply does not work on your phone.

    2. Kids: They don't have phone numbers (or phones in many cases) but want to be included in family group chats. Once kids got in on it, #DeltaChat spread like wildfire among our extended family, relatives, inlaws and friends. Even a kid with #downsyndrome onboarded their grandpa in seconds while I had earlier struggled to get him on #Signal!

    A great thing about Delta Chat is that, unlike #ElementMessenger and other fully-featured #Matrix clients, there's no search and discovery feature so kids do not stumble upon untrusted groups and strangers' profiles.

The AP found accounts for state, local and federal officials in nearly every state, including many legislators and their staff, but also staff for governors, state attorneys general, education departments and school board members.”

  41. Теория шести рукопожатий - Wikiwand
    wikiwand.com/ru/articles/%D0%A

    Теория шести рукопожатий, также известная как "теория шести степеней разделения", предполагает, что любой человек на Земле может быть соединен с любым другим человеком через цепочку из не более чем шести знакомых. Эта концепция была впервые предложена венгерским писателем Фридешем Каринти в 1929 году и позже подтверждена экспериментами американских психологов Стэнли Милгрэма и Джеффри Трэверса в 1960-х годах135.

    Применение в социальных сетях
    С появлением социальных сетей теория шести рукопожатий стала еще более актуальной. Исследования, проведенные Facebook в 2011 году, показали, что среднее количество связей между двумя произвольными пользователями составляет около 4,74, что подтверждает идею о том, что мир становится все более тесным1. Это означает, что социальные сети значительно сократили социальное расстояние между людьми, сделав его проще найти и связаться с другими.
    Как это работает в социальных сетях:
    **Слабые связи**: Теория шести рукопожатий подчеркивает важность слабых социальных связей, которые могут соединять людей из разных слоев общества и географических мест24.
    **Сетевой анализ**: Социальные сети можно рассматривать как сеть, где каждый пользователь является узлом, а связи между ними — линиями. Это позволяет использовать сетевой анализ для изучения социальных связей и подтверждения теории шести рукопожатий8.
    **Примеры из практики**: Социальные сети часто демонстрируют случаи, когда люди находят своих биологических родителей или знакомых через цепочку общих знакомых, что иллюстрирует реальную силу теории шести рукопожатий37.
    Заключение
    Теория шести рукопожатий в социальных сетях показывает, как технологии сократили социальное расстояние между людьми, сделав возможным связаться с кем угодно через короткую цепочку знакомых. Это не только интересная теория, но и практический инструмент для построения сетей и поиска новых связей.
