Thanks for this Chris! Shane from XMTP here, I'm curious if XMTP could be an option here? I'd love to know any reason why we couldn't use XMTP for this since I believe we deliver on all of the principles that you're looking for here and feel very aligned with that?

A Vision for End-to-End Encrypted Messaging on ATproto
End-to-end encrypted (E2EE) messaging built on ATproto could become the open, decentralized alternative to WhatsApp—free from lock-in, surveillance, and privacy compromises. To achieve this, we must design the messaging protocol with precision,...

To build a new communication network that requires global trust, you have to open source everything. True security comes from transparency.
This is why XMTP's node software is open source—anyone can inspect, & verify every line of code. No more blind trust in a black box.

This is such a huge problem with centralized platforms owning our communication and encryption.
Encryption isn't enough.
We are working hard to be able to help any developer, any network, any identity, have secure and decentralized DMs that are censorship-resistant.

Apple ordered to open encrypted user accounts globally to UK spying
The secret order would give the UK access to encrypted backups belonging to any user — not just Brits.
