So far I really like it, anyone else using it? I'm really considering setting up the discord bridge and just using revolt

It's not decentralized and e2ee is not implemented.

Then Mastodon are not for you either. Nothing is stored encrypted there.

Mastodon is not a real time chat

Nope, it's not. But Revolt and Mastodon share the same gimmic: no encryption. Why (as far as I know)? You can install these 2 on your own server, making you own your data and also handling the data. E2EE will not be important in that case (according to me). However, encryption (not E2EE) are important in any service.

Revolt and Mastodon aren't even in the same ball park.

[–] airikr@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Nope, I know :) I just stated the encryption likeness between those 2. If the user don't like and refuse to use Revolt because it's not E2EE by default, then the user would have the same oppinion towards Mastodon. That's all. Nothing more.

Also just to clarify, we do think e2ee for direct messages on Mastodon would be awesome. Maybe unlisted posts, but I'm not sure how that'd work. Still, like they said, Mastodon is a public-first platform.

Sometimes a public utility doesn't need to be decentralized to function effectively
