Shorthand Concord (Encrypted Discord Alternative built on top of nostr protocol)

Open for shorthand lovers who like it encrypted and distributed (relay servers have no clue what that message means and they also don't control users) Shorthand space on concord (armada). If you have the key you can enter, but if should you be forced to exclude someone moderation can change the lock :-).

Nostr is a protocol and relies upon a secure private/public Key-Pair, which will be created and handled by a signer of your choice. If you have that you can use whatever nostr app was created. The nostr-app never has to sign you up (some still do though, because they were made before the advent of the nostr signer method).

What nostr signer then?

Amber is top on android (use f-droid appstore). On PC I had Keys.Band working (a extension for the browser) and right now the Plebeian Signer both excellent, stay away from nos2x (from the designer of nostr): it works too, but it is klonky. On IOS use nostash. I cannot recommend Aegis, my first choice (I wanted to use it with substr, never got it working).

If you are interested in concord (follow link, its a reddit post)

There are two clients already available:

Armada - https://armada.buzz | Which I used. The Shorthand space on concord (armada) is an invitation link to the shorthand space I opened with Armada.

Accordion - https://accordion.chat
