    Came across this recently, and love to see this on cloudron!

    Site address: https://cwtch.im/
    Serve install/set up: https://git.openprivacy.ca/cwtch.im/server

    What is Cwtch?

    Cwtch (/kʊtʃ/ - a Welsh word roughly translating to “a hug that creates a safe place”) is a decentralized, privacy-preserving, multi-party messaging protocol that can be used to build metadata resistant applications.

    Decentralized and Open: There is no “Cwtch service” or “Cwtch network”. Participants in Cwtch can host their own safe spaces, or lend their infrastructure to others seeking a safe space. The Cwtch protocol is open, and anyone is free to build bots, services and user interfaces and integrate and interact with Cwtch.

    Privacy Preserving: All communication in Cwtch is end-to-end encrypted and takes place over Tor v3 onion services.

    Metadata Resistant: Cwtch has been designed such that no information is exchanged or available to anyone without their explicit consent, including on-the-wire messages and protocol metadata.

    @subtlecourage Looking forward to trying it on my GrapheneOS de-googled phone.

    I've been thinking for some time that all the discussion in privacy forums etc and in the public arena about E2E end-to-end encryption is just missing the point.

    Seems a fundamental principle of privacy is that you never entrust responsibility for it to a 3rd party. Encrypt locally, decrypt on receiving end based on key. PGP had it right. I quite like the https://www.oversec.io/ approach (although it is not fluid, the price you pay I guess).

    Why are we getting kickers-in-twist about E2E on different providers when it's really a personal responsibility.

    I guess it comes down to the generally low level of tech knowledge in the wider public.

    @timconsidine I fully agree with

    I guess it comes down to the generally low level of tech knowledge in the wider public.

    When people hear the word "Encryption" they misunderstand exactly what that means.

    E2EE is a fundamental human right, regardless if it can be exploited by criminals.

    Having a trustless ecosystem that allows E2EE comms. is vital for the future.

    @timconsidine still works. I was the reason for the last update after a conversation with the inventor. (tied to the version of PGP/GPG and TLS)
