if you scale up large enough, the govt will eventually come knocking
and if you say "i got no records" then they say "then we're shutting you the fuck down"
the only option is something like signal, which only saves the absolute bare minimum of records
there is no better deal
or: roll your own sooper sekret bespoke shit with a group of friends as ohir indicates
but that will never scale
because as soon as you get big, you attract the attention of govt

@benroyce@mastodon.social @ohir@social.vivaldi.net @rootschange@kolektiva.social @scathach@stereophonic.space If there is a "you" to shut down then "you" have a problem. Why is BitTorrent still running after 25 years. It's an amoeba. It has no head to cut off. Now I tried to write an email system like that 12 years ago or so, and it worked fine, but I could not get a critical mass of users. It used the same Kademlia algorithm as BitTorrent.
