@silberfuchs@kolektiva@liaizon switter.at got pretty ruined by Cloudflare and I don't know what happened to the energy. I believe that the people behind it are running tryst.link?
Have many friends working in this field and the current places are awful. I know this is also a super dangerous territory but the alternatives are as well.
@silverwizard@kolektiva@silberfuchs yeah I should probably just contact them specifically to understand the issues that destroyed it. but also they were just running a mastodon instance and really what I was thinking about is more developing something specific
I see at least two things that might be necessary but not yet implemented: end-to-end encryption for private messages and fine-grained moderation controls. The first problem is really difficult. I have some ideas on how to approach it, but Fediverse as a whole is very far from supporting cross-instance encrypted chats. The short-term solution is to limit private messages to one instance, in that case a user would need to trust only one instance admin. The second problem is easier, I will be working on it.
