The creator of Pixelfed announced an upcoming encrypted messenger for the fediverse that will work across the fediverse
mastodon.social
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

Chill, you're not the only one here.
I talked about various audiences not just myself. The person I replied to talked as if the app was made for him explicitly. "VoIP is not something I'd care about, file transfers are" like this kind of talking is like bruh, the app is not made only for you.
yeah, the app is made for you and him. So doing the math we have a -1 "VoIP is not something I'd care about" and a +1 "Video calling too is something I personally use..." which results in 0% significance. So let's just talk, voice our opinions, and chill.
No, the app is made for everybody who wants to use a messenger. Not just you and him. It's supposed to be under the standards of the feddiverse.
The comments here are not a poll. Providing especially personal comments about a nerdy user like me and the guy I replied about "I would like it like ICQ" and such shit, would not help the creator make a good choice. Most people nowadays, especially zoomers, dont even know what ICQ is or how it works or how to even login to it. Most people, proven by ehm ... the success of messenger, discord, whatsapp, telegram, viber, signal everything ... want a messenger that provides what the mainstream messenger wants with most of the features that everybody provides and are mainstream used while having ease of access.
We should try to help the creator. Not misguide him. Again, the comments are not a poll, they're supposed to help to make a constructive conversation. And when you talk as if the app is made only about yourself, you're not really helping.
We don't take kindly to people who think they're the only one here.
