non-standard algorithm

thats exactely the point lol. Why would you use an algorithm designed and proposed by the US government in a "secure" messenger?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

completely agree with you. I can't believe why you are getting downvoted. Promoting a platform which is funded by the CIA, US gov and Israel. Completely insane really I don't understand how people are still believing this. They really need to wake up to the truth otherwise things will never change. Privacy will stay an illusion we give ourselves to believe that nobody can read our messages (even if they absolutely can)

I'm not forcing you to believe anything. Also this is a free platform where I can say what I think. I won't hold myself back from expressing my view only because the majority has a different opinikn (looking at the downvotes). I personally just wouldn't trust it. And it also doesn't have any difference to Whatsapp and co. (encryprion algos are the same) which completely removes the purpose of it even existing (ik open source is still an argument. But they don't have reproducable builds so even that falls apart) so there really isn't any reason for me to switch to it or promote it to anybody at all.

  1. The Encryption algorithm of Signal is basically the same algorithms proposed by the US gov in 2000. There is no way they would release these encryption algorithms if they couldn't break them themsleves
  2. If you would see which organisations are supporting Signal (look at where Signal gets all the money), you would also agree with me. There is no way these organasations are supporting them for your privacy. Why would they? The same people who are trying their best to get all your data. Believing this is just pure naivity imo but call me what you want

Signal is much worse than Telegram (in terms of privacy)

Telegram just exposed Signal to not be secure at all. So I don't think going from Whatsapp to Signal makes any difference at all. They have the same encryption algorithms proposed by the US in the year 2000.

You can checkout the Cradle Series

That's interesting. Is there anything we can do against it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I feel rhe exact same way about Frieren. It's just too boring to me but so many people praise it. You should watch "The Eminence in Shadow"

you can select "subscribed" so you only see the lemmy communities you are subscribed to.

I personally looked at the top 1000 posts from the "all" feed. And subscribed to all communities which im even slightly interested in (i can unsubscribe later if i decide otherwise). So now I can see all relevant posts to me on my "subscribed" feed.

I'm also planning to go through this process every few months or so to discover new communities which didn't exist before.

 

Hey Lemmy community!

Hope you're all doing well. As some of you might know, I've been diving into Computer Science at the Technical University of Munich. Lately, I've been really getting into the whole 'decentralization' vibe, and it got me thinking about Lemmy. So, here’s my take on how we might be able to tweak things. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Storage: Let's talk data. I'm thinking decentralized storage – could be IPFS, could be something else. The main idea? Every comment, every post, we store it there. Now, I'm a little on the fence about pictures, but that's something we can circle back to.

Moderation: While we're all for storing data, we probably shouldn’t dump everything on the user, right? What if we had a local database that could filter what goes out and what stays in the shadows? A simple mechanism, like post/comment ID to True/False, could let us curate what folks see, making Lemmy's experience unique for every instance. Instances could also open source these databases to have full transparency with users on what is getting blocked.

Speed: Here's the catch – decentralized storage can sometimes feel like a snail race. So how about integrating something like Redis? It'd act like a speed booster, ensuring we aren't always reaching out to the vast decentralized storage and giving users a snappier experience.

Obstacles & Possible Solutions:

Data Deletion: We want our storage sleek, not bloated. How about a voting system? If a bunch of verified servers (like 20 of them with a 90% agreement rate) think a post isn't up to snuff, it's out.

Spam: The decentralized world is fantastic, but spam can be a pain. The voting system might help, but we might have to look for other solutions on this regard.

This is my rough sketch on what Lemmy's architecture could evolve into – a blend of decentralization with a solid user experience. But hey, this isn’t a monologue. Let’s turn it into a conversation. Eager to hear your insights and suggestions!
