It will be open source, end to end encrypted using Signal’s double ratchet encryption protocol, and he plans to make it easy for fediverse platforms to integrate it. The beta will release later this month.

He’s also the creator of https://fedidb.org btw

I'm not a fan of Pixelfed, or instaclones. But the idea of a messenger e2ee that works with all the fedi is such a awesome idea.

Why are you not a fan? I'm genuinely curious, as I'm vaguely evaluating such software.

Not OP but personally I just don't like picture centric social media. Just not my thing.
