    It's doable, but I'm not sure anyone is implementing/using

  2. theTedd

    MSavoritias has some plans in that direction

    hmmm

    jjj333_p (any pronouns): note regular XMPP s2s that everyone uses is fully p2p, and nothing stops local clients from talking s2s directly or running a server on their device

    > hmmm before i decided on making an xmpp client i had thoughts about making a somewhat p2p messaging app or something of the sort, would be interesting to implement

    > jjj333_p (any pronouns): note regular XMPP s2s that everyone uses is fully p2p, and nothing stops local clients from talking s2s directly or running a server on their device you have a point, i suppose a muc would be hard to reliably p2p but even that

  7. moparisthebest

    One of the servers has to host it currently yes

  8. jjj333_p (any pronouns)

    but i suppose you could s2s to it from the client, push come to shove

    The old school lan-p2p is neat but basically a non starter today because it doesn't do any authenticity or encryption

  10. jjj333_p (any pronouns)

    got it makes sense

    If you want fully anonymous, encrypted, and p2p without domain names, each use runs their own server on a Tor hidden service, mostly clients and servers will all just work, just need to bundle them so no manual setup is needed :)

    > theTedd: how would you? nostr like? You generate a public/private keypair and that's your identity now? Pretty much; of course, other schemes are possible

  17. theTedd

    Each individual would have to authenticate all others they want to communicate with though

    Or you introduce trust anchors and path building, either using known contacts as trust anchors in a Web of trust, or the pki style ca.
