A refreshingly simple, decentralised, federated protocol. No more losing friends, followers or messages if your old homeserver sunsets. Feel free to migrate to another homeserver at any time, even if your old homeserver has shut down ages ago.

Good standardization and open sharing of standards are not sufficient for making a protocol with no central point of potential failure. Governance has to be inclusive, accessible, transparent, democratic and community-owned. All of these points are paramount to creating protocols and software aiming to be around for a long time.

That, or have direct billionaire funding; though I much prefer my soul.

In a Pull Request touching 80 files, polyproto-rs (polyproto reference implementation in Rust) was painfully rid of all lintable bad style, missing documentation, inconsistent usages of things and sneaky ways to enabling crate features which would break the build of the library

All of this was enabled by refactored CI and style-checking suites now powered by

nix and @lix_project

(,,that's their logo right,?)

Today in polyproto-extension discussion: Finding a good solution for chat backups of encrypted chats, should we decide on wanting this as a feature; including figuring out how to have an explicit choice between post-compromise security and the added usability of chat backups.
