An operator connected every call, and could listen in. Your Nexus server connects every message, and can’t read your DMs.

How joining works
First, pick a name
A username, an email address and a password. That’s the whole form.
Then save your recovery code
It’s the only way back into your encrypted messages if you forget your password and no device is signed in. Nexus shows it once, and the server never sees it.
Next, add a second factor
Every account on this server signs in with two factors. Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password or any authenticator app will do.
Then say hello
You’re in. Pick a channel, join a voice room, or start a DM. Your DMs are encrypted from the first message.
What’s in it
Channels sort into categories, and roles decide who can see what. Messages take replies, threads, polls, GIFs and reactions . Voice channels carry calls and screen sharing, with noise suppression built in.
Direct messages, one-to-one or in a group, are end-to-end encrypted. Server channels aren’t: they’re stored on the server, which is yours.
