Communication between peers

Posted over 2 years ago

We're in this for the long run. For an open and free society, against authoritarian control.

Therefore we will not partake in such platforms requiring phone number like Telegram/Discord/Twitter/Facebook/Wechat/Signal, and neither should you.

Some alternatives which are usable today
  • XMPP
  • Matrix
  • PGP e-mail
  • encrypted IRC

Also interesting, but lacking accessible UX for the moment:
  • lightning-sendonionmessage
  • lightning-keysend

Two or more of these could be bridged, of course - as is commonly done with IRC and Matrix, for example.

We would like to get together a social fabric where node operators can communicate freely, privately, conveniently, and securely with each other - ideally with minimal trust in any single server operator. The LN community will need to leave Telegram and Discord. Let's do it before the problem gets practical.

If there is interest in any particular solution we are ready to start setting up infrastructure for the cause.

Comment on this post with your thoughts and ideas on how you would like to see this happen. Or if your're super lazy, 👍️/👎️ indicating if you'd be up for it when it comes.
