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

Will it support MLS? (I still don't quite know the relationship between Double Ratchet and MLS)
Why not Matrix?

I really like the promise of MLS, all IM apps being interoperable is an amazing thing

[–] cbarrick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure it means the apps will be interoperable, only that the protocol for sharing keys will be standardized.

I highly doubt that we will see any kind of standardization in the actual messaging protocols in the next 10 years.
