Recently cult of the dead cow came out with veilid, a secure decentralised way of sending encrypted information and i think this could be a huge asset to lemmy. Cult of the dead cow even mentions mastadon by name as they say this is the type of application it was designed for. If veilidchat takes off then i really hope the devs will consider it.

Can we please not do Google amp links here? Real link: https://www.theregister.com/2023/08/12/veilid_privacy_data/

The irony of using an amp link for such an article 😂

In what way? Replacing the current federation protocol, ActivityPub?

[–] Darthjaffacake@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Is it not possible to use both at the same time? They're both network protocols but surely they operate on different levels, ActivityPub is the social networking protocol and Veilid would be the method of distribution within that protocol. I'm new to all this stuff so i could definitely be wrong

Consider opening a feature request ticket on Github. :) or better yet, start working on it if you're able to.
