Kind of like a complete mastodon instance running on your local machine and you have a list of &#34;servers&#34; that are really just other machines that you sync up with when you log in. So, when you turn on your PC, it has a list of your friends who are &#34;on&#34; and have registered their IP with anyone who has a &#34;polling&#34; station, kind of like a bittorrent tracker. Then it requests any messages in their out-box, directly. When they &#34;made friends&#34;, they generated a key between them. So messages don&#39;t leave your PC until they&#39;re already encrypted, and then aren&#39;t sent until your correspondent requests them, and they decrypt them on their own pc using that shared key.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, it was a bit clunky and slow. But.... I love the idea of eliminating centralized systems entirely, especially now. 2025-09-18T18:56:16Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxue4c7xy52897ac3rw3vuzwvj8cujunmcgc59ugj6a2ww58atf8qzyq7erqhlt2v4w5jeqa22kmrzd9t8gn60lvfkvrpfspn663qaasjuczyqshs In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs84c5vzlptp39cxyhur4kcr9j47xstza0quq3tpjgqrm4x3z45hjgdt5x5a'>nevent1q…5x5a</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>what&#39;s funny is that Mastodon is wide open, like email, and direct messages can easily be read on the server. <br/><br/>however.... ActivityPub (the base of mastodon) is soon coming out with Messaging Layer Security (MLS) which is an end to end encryption. <br/><br/>AND Mastodon is run on multiple servers. (I actually host my own for the family on a crappy old server in my office)<br/><br/>so it&#39;s quite possible that the safest and most stable message system, that cannot be taken down or corrupted by the government, may actually end up being activitypub. lol 2025-09-17T19:28:35Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsz22usnnn7d47e5r89rhuwcp9x435m04uu9q823dsphrnjtflmd3qzyq7erqhlt2v4w5jeqa22kmrzd9t8gn60lvfkvrpfspn663qaasjuc5u20hu I applied for a mortgage, yesterday they were just finishing up and did a &#34;hard pull&#34; on my credit.
