Builders gonna build and they should build together. Learn, share, help each other improve. Nope it's not fluff, it's the core foundation of open-source tech and protocols to which I do my best to live daily, though I'm not a full stack developer.
Love to see marmotprotocol (nprofile…suxq) succeed with jeffg (nprofile…n0n6) Max (nprofile…8p0e) and provide some of the highest level security for MLS encrypted group chats.
Love to see Concord Protocol succeed with JSKitty (nprofile…7pw8) Alex Gleason (nprofile…n8uj) Derek Ross (nprofile…0hy6) chad (nprofile…y2t5) and Soapbox team.
I don't know enough about Cordn through a lack of experience and knowledge to comment deeper, but wish their team the best of success as well.
Love to see DEN Chat by Freakoverse (nprofile…ncjp) and DEG Mods (nprofile…je9y) succeed.

We compared Marmot (MLS for small high-stakes groups, no privileged server), Concord (Discord-style communities with shared-key streams and signed rosters, five established clients), and Cordn (MLS through a lightweight self-hostable coordinator that is blind to content, identities, and IPs, with nothing identifiable as Cordn messaging persisting on public relays).
Full breakdown with a comparison table, what the coordinator can and cannot see, and which to pick:
