We're considering moving up our timeline on a SimpleX and Matrix chat as we've received interest from others about that, too. Keep an eye on our website or show notes as we'll update those when new chat channels open up.
As for email, are there specific providers you recommend we look at?

Totally respect the compartmentalization strategy. I'll chat with Jay about this... maybe we'll bump up the SimpleX timeline a bit.
We're trying to prioritize which platforms to start with since the project is so new. As we publish more content and resources, we're hoping they bring real value to the community, and in turn widen our audience. Once that happens, it would make more sense to open up more channels to accommodate more folks. One thing at a time π
Hey, thereβ we're still open to it, but when we launch it depends on how much demand there is from the community. Realistically, we'll probably wait a few more episodes down the line before we start one. Out of curiosity, do you use Signal, Matrix, or other platforms you think we should consider?
Ooooh, this is interesting, and I like the backup feature. Since you mention it...I have to ask... you don't happen to have the coveted Episode 306 from Bazzell's show, do you?

Appreciate the enthusiasm! Thanks for following along. Feel free to provide feedback, and if you feel so inclined, consider participating in the project!

Hey, Arthurβ thanks for dropping these links. Jay and I will look at these and consider your thought process, and might reach out to follow up, if that's okay! If I may ask, what do you prefer for email and RTC?

Totally valid point, and just to be ultra clear: yes, this episode was more security focused, technically speaking. Good privacy starts with good security. We're hoping that newcomers to the space who are primarily interested in privacy as a topic start with that principle in mind. We tried, as best we could, to avoid dropping the word "privacy" throughout this episode in an effort to create that distinction.
Thanks for the call out! You're right to be mindful that these are related but separate concepts.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion! I'll look into Auphonic a bit and maybe do some experimenting.

Hey, will do! Thanks!
Nice find!
Appreciate the feedback! We care about producing quality rather than quantity. As I mentioned in our Welcome post, we don't view ourselves as content creators in the contemporary sense, and we don't want that associated pressure to constantly pump out new stuff. We hope the project gains enough international relevancy and appeal that we can bring in other contributors (which might result in more frequent episodes/posts), but for now, slow and steady is the goal.

Thank you, and will do! Feel free to crosspost this anywhere else you think would find value in it, too.
