strk@floss.social threaded views exist in many ActivityPub software already, including Lemmy, Piefed, mbin, and NodeBB (though that last one is a linear view.)

@julian any of them running on Android ?

strk@floss.social NodeBB is installable via PWA. I'm using it as an app on my phone right now via Chrome. Push notifications included.

Agreed. End to end encryption is nothing new. That’s why we’re using the MLS protocol that’s supported by tons of other messaging systems.
I think the “new” part will be building it alongside ActivityPub, so your existing network of contacts can talk to you in either plaintext or encrypted.
I’m not sure where in the world you are, but in my corner of it, it seems good to set up more ways for regular people to commmunicate reliably and safely.

@bonfire @swf @sovtechfund @benpate Ooof, just another instant messenger..?
We've already had XMPP since the 90s... and since then it's become pretty reliable.
i hope there'll at least be interoperability. I'm so tired of new ways to communicate that are not interoperable with what's already there.

Emd to end => Client side encryption. And only you will hold the private keys.
Messages travel via ActivityPub inboxes, but are opaque to the servers.

@bonfire @swf @sovtechfund @benpate is it client or server side?

@acb @bonfire @swf @sovtechfund
This *specific* tech will make private groups, similar to Apple Messages, Signal, and WhatsApp.
It won’t make “Friends Only” posts, but.. both Emissary and Bonfire already provide different flavors of “Circles” that let you choose the visibility of your posts. https://emissary.dev/circles
Id live for other Fediverse tools like Mastodon to add this too.

@bonfire @swf @sovtechfund @benpate Will this mean the possibility of friends-only (i.e. people you select, rather than anyone who follows you) posts on Mastodon/Pixelfed/similar? If ActivityPub ever gets mass adoption, that will be important, because when everyone’s here, so are griefers, trolls, pig-butchers and as yet uncategorised hostile actors.

@soatok @ligasser @bonfire let's start a thread to make sure we are clear amongst ourselves! We all really want to see collaborative and interoperable solutions, especially when so much expert thought has gone into them
-
@alisynthesis The initial idea is that all fediverse apps (clients and servers) should implement the standard for maximum interoperability. But it's definitely worth thinking about what we could do to make that possible in any case!
