    Is this bit-chat or bitch-at?

      Or a misspelling of bitch hat

      Yes :)

      Sounds like a suitable addition to the ATProto ecosystem :)

        It's explicitly in opposition to ATProto. That's probably why they went with Radicle and not Tangled

      It depends on whom you’re talking to

    That Radicle site design is an interesting take for a git repo platform. Good use of full width spacing, well thought out navigation, nice code rendering. I dig it.

    Are there any special features comparing with other decentrilized message product? Such as Nostr or XMTP?

    I hope they will enjoy fighting with https://radicle.dev/ over the project name.

      I'm pretty sure that's the same project.

      I assumed they are the same :-O

      One seems to be built on top of the other? Very confusing though, I agree.

    btw what's the current state of mesh wifi?

    seems like after November or January 2029 might need it since administration now has a kill-switch so why wouldn't they use it

    Such a terrible name. Can't believe marketing didn't catch it.

      Probably on purpose. Like "Broken, But Whole"

    Is this irc compatible?

      How would it be? Bitchat is for offline communication over Bluetooth Low Energy networks
    • embedding-shape 42 minutes ago
      Everything is pointing towards a hard "no", but I didn't dig deeper than literally read the first sentence in the README:

      > A decentralized peer-to-peer messaging app with dual transport architecture: local Bluetooth mesh networks for offline communication and internet-based Nostr protocol for global reach. No accounts, no phone numbers, no central servers. It's the side-groupchat.
