- Confiks 3y agoThe wording could have been better (and the whole private beta thing as well). For what it's worth, the protocol and data model is open and designed for redistribution [1], and the event stream of messages is freely available without login [2]. It's quite similar to Secure Scuttlebutt (which has the most beautiful protocol guide itself [3]) including the disadvantages that come with radical publication – for example described in this 2018 pre-LLM Facebook v. Cambridge Analytica-era comment [4].
