I’m aware of what end-to-end encrypted means in a technical sense, but does the lack thereof guarantee the messages are just plaintext readable to whoever’s manning the machine?
My guess is yes but I’ve been known to have wildly incorrect guesses so I want to double-check.
Note: stoat is self-hostable. There’s no federation (yet?) but you can run your own server easily
Thanks for the stoat note.
…I’m sorry.
No yer not :D
Last I read about it they weren’t planning on ever implementing federation. Hope they can change their minds.
On their roadmap thingy they do have it, but from what I can see, it’s at the very bottom of their priority list. So it might be something they’ll consider far in the future, but not necessarily soon
