Updates and discussion about Comm, the crypto-native community messaging app based on federated keyservers
comm has public invite links
comm lets you see and search chat history from before you joined. keyservers make this possible without compromising e2ee.
when you join a community on comm, we don't add you to all of the channels by default
you can use the tree view to see all of the channels in a community, and pick which ones you want to join
in contrast, your inbox only shows the channels you've joined

introducing Comm, a new kind of messaging app. we extend Signal-style encryption with a federation layer
Comm supports two kinds of chats:
1. Signal-style E2EE group chats & DMs
2. chat communities hosted on federated keyservers (like a modern IRC)
where Discord is chaotic and messy, Comm communities are organized and built for async
we're using Farcaster to bootstrap not just our social graph, but also our interest graph. when you log in with Farcaster, we'll automatically add you to communities based on the channels you follow

comm code corner pt 7: account deletion
we're pretty obsessive about making sure all of your data is deleted when your account is deleted: https://github.com/CommE2E/comm/blob/cd89f573c366c654b34731e8a168c6555b77ba26/keyserver/src/deleters/account-deleters.js#L38-L71
1. all metadata (except for messages in threads with other people) is deleted from all keyservers you're connected to
2. messages in threads with other people remain, but they appear as being sent by "anonymous". this is to avoid breaking context / confusing people
