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
Discord is a centralised, proprietary service, sup would be a fediverse app. Discord is better than Sup just like Reddit is better than Lemmy.
I’d be so excited to see any fediverse do the discord server/channel setup, and as soon as I see it I can start convincing friends to join it.
Matrix has this. It’s federated but doesn’t communicate with Lemmy.
So?
Sup is a lazy name and I’ve no use for something. Not sure why it’s such a problem for people to mass downvote me over. I don’t really jump into something so readily just because a handful of people have done it. I’ve already stated my reasons and I’m sticking to it. I’m not going to use something under the basis of “some people have done it!”. Plus some reasons have been stated by other people here over Sup. If I’m reading about how some dude who made it, has a bit of some skepticism towards them, then it makes me skeptical and makes me not want to use it.
I’m not disagreeing with you. You’re saying that the fediverse produces badly designed and branded services that mirror existing apps with massive user bases, that won’t be great until a lot of users migrate over. None of that is wrong! It’s why Lemmy is a mess that constantly breaks, and Reddit is still way more useful, even if most people here hate it.
It’s just that most Lemmy users care enough about decentralisation to ignore those product downsides, in the hope that they it can be overcome over time. With a messaging product, that’s even easier. You can just install it and wait until other users join - network effects are ’much more limited than with eg Lemmy.
You’re trying to derive meaning from a system that doesn’t have one established objectively
You got like 10 people that basically said “i disagree” in voting format, nbd. Sometimes we have unpopular opinions, other times bots, other times who cares internet points
