    I think (!) the idea is that I could text you using your fediverse handle, and that it could somehow become integrated in other fediverse services.

    It makes sense through the following storyline:

    1. Dansup creates Pixelfed
    2. People start texting each other using direct messages on Pixelfed, making Dansup uncomfortable as it is not at all encrypted
    3. Dansup creates sup to provide integrated E2EE direct messaging in Pixelfed/associated platforms

    I have no idea if it’ll be good or if it’ll be used. I struggle enough to get people on Signal. But if it can somehow provide E2EE while benefiting from the social graph of ActivityPub, it might not be the dumbest thing ever.

      That means I could write from @zloubida@lemmy.world to @aasatru@kbin.earth using Sup? That would be cool indeed. But if I have to create a Sup account, not so much.
