Recently, I've decided to put in some more work to clean up and improve the Geph forum. On the technical side,
Discourse has been updated, and some plugins added. Most interestingly, forum PMs are now end-to-end encrypted by default! Do note, however, that end-to-end encryption on webpages is inherently insecure against a fully compromised server. Nevertheless, this forum is probably now a safer private communciations platform than 99% of websites out there!
The layout of the homepage has been changed.
However, the bigger changes I want to make are to increase user engagement, improve the forum rules, and in general make the Geph forum a better online community. What do you think can be done to make this forum better? Feel free to discuss in this thread!
