Understanding circles in 0xchat-lite

Circles are designed for privacy, and are especially suitable for users who have their own private relay.

1. Independent server setup and configuration

2. Independent encrypted database

3. No hidden connections

Imagine you have a family circle on your family’s private relay, and a friends circle on a relay shared with your friends. Only members of each circle can send and receive messages.

You simply switch to the family circle to chat with family, and to the friends circle to chat with friends.

One identity can join multiple circles, and each circle’s data stays completely separate.

That has been tried before and failed. Google Plus

One reason Google Plus failed was because it was forcibly integrated into other Google services. It claimed to focus on privacy, but in practice, that approach actually worked against user privacy.
