OTR is inherently 1 on 1. Any idea how you can make it work for group discussions?

- blueflow 4y agoNobody on IRC uses OTR, people just talk unencrypted, trusting the server. It isn't that bad tho when its your friends IRC server.
- Eupraxias 4y agoExactly. People should use IRC as a tool for communications that don't really need encryption. If you are someone's high-value target, don't use IRC.
- bawolff 4y agoI think the point is more - there is no point end to end encrypting if the middle man (the irc server) is also part of the conversation (your friend). encryption cannot protect you from the person you are talking to only from the people trying to evesdrop.
- hkt 4y agoI've used it to talk to people in the past. It is uncommon but not unheard of.
