The next Marmot Dev Call is this upcoming Tuesday (Nov 4) at 1600 UTC. We'll cover the new specs for encrypted media and our proposal for notifications. I've also recently talked several people building on Marmot so we'll leave time at the end of the call for demos too! 💪 Who's going to step up??

The thing that everyone who pushes for digital ID and "proof of personhood" fails to understand is that IT DOESN'T MATTER if you're a person or an AI agent. What matters is whether or not we can trust you.

Identity and content linked by cryptography can help fix this. Giving the state unchecked surveillance powers does not fix anything.

Watching all the blowback against @Signal today is making me realize that most people have no idea how end-to-end encryption actually works. Hint: it’s not the same as peer to peer.
