I’m really hoping for @veilid.com to start gaining some traction so we can stop relying on the worst people for our basic app infrastructure

We just used a dentist as an example: substitute English teacher, parent, neighbor, mayor etc

We fully agree

If you think marketing isn't important in the privacy space- try to convince your dentist to use Tor.

I'm guessing they've heard horror stories about the dark web.

Control your data- but also control the narrative.

Imagine how great it's going to be to get all of our parents off of Facebook messenger and WhatsApp.

1.0 arriving next August.

Well, you can start with simple things- deleting your Facebook account, not using Google or Gmail, and instead opting for DuckDuckGo or protonmail.
Small things make a big difference! Privacy doesn't need to be hard to be effective.

Everyone!! (But especially NODE OPERATORS!!)
0.5 is coming soon! It's a network breaking update, and all nodes who do not update will not function properly!! Please keep an eye on this space and in the discord to know when to update your node!

Nodes that do not update will continue to connect to each other until an event (reboot, etc) causes them to try bootstrapping again.

At that point they will cease connecting to any other nodes.

The future is upon us! Update those nodes!
Be the brick!

Attention Veilid Node Operators:

Be ready for v0.5.0!

This version contains breaking changes so the easiest way to be ready is to set up auto updates with a cron job.

Example can be found in our install guide.

Reminder that surveillance is an essential ingredient to fascism.

Reclaiming privacy is an act of resistance.

[31:30] love this project hate the insight 🙃 lmao

'well we use Signal for that'

K: "Signal is great! We love Signal. Signal also has a six-figure overhead and no income. So someday Signal is going to have to make a really tough choice on how that's going to happen."

C: "We just want to be there."

If you're looking for better privacy options online, we'd highly recommend checking out @veilid.com. What is Veilid? This video from a recent conference has a really great introduction to what Veilid is and what they hope to accomplish with it.

The truth sucks. Signal is great, but it can't scale for long without serious funding. That's the problem with most projects- the necessity to incentive

The upcoming v0.5.0 will include fixes and enhancements across the whole project based on our many experiments and lessons learned.

It’s like we’re clanking up the start of a roller coaster. Hold on because v5 is the first drop into a thrilling path to v1.0.
