Exactly. In order to attract more users to Jami, I really think the user interface should be improved. session is not p2p. you are right, Session is not purely peer-to-peer. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] sga@piefed.social 1 point 8 months ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] tatoko556@reddthat.com [S] 1 point 8 months ago I’ve never understood why a messaging app would require blockchain to function. Storing all text and images on the blockchain seems redundant—especially when end-to-end encryption is already in place. With E2EE, no one can modify your messages without access to your private key. It’s a shame they broke Perfect forward secrecy. To me, this is a very important feature to have in any E2EE system. permalink fedilink source parent
