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

While I doubt I could get my friends and family on yet ANOTHER messaging app in the year of our lord 2023.

Sup. Is a fucking brilliant name.

Double rachet encryption protocol is also rather dope

I personally hate the name, but only because I had a roommate in college who would start every conversation with “sup.”

On text messages, IMs, in person, you name it. It really started to get under my skin.

But I hope the software is good.

sup.

[–] garretble@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yep. That’s what he’d do. So basically he’d always want you to start the conversation.

No man, you're just supposed to say "Sup." back to them and then repeat ad nauseum.

[–] ElBarto@lzrprt.sbs 3 points 2 years ago

After a few sups, the least dominate of the two has to say "nunmuch chu?"

So, you're playing a little Playstation, huh? That's whack. Playstation is whack. 'Sup with the whack Playstation, 'sup?
