Federated End-to-End Encrypted Messaging is Coming Soon - We Distribute

One of the Social Web Foundation’s initiatives for improving ActivityPub will soon be a reality for the network.

Important progress has been made regarding bringing MLS end-to-end encryption to the ActivityPub protocol, with developers already building implementations and providing feedback to a future version of the protocol spec.

        I mean, there’s nothing technically stopping one app supporting both protocols natively, especially since Lemmy already includes a field for people’s profiles to link their Matrix ID. Though to my knowledge none do it yet.

          Sure, in the same way there is nothing stopping Lemmy from using ATProto. The problem is all competing standards and what the developer chooses to use.

      ActivityPub is only one of a number of federated protocols.
      One notably unsuited to instant messaging.
