Germ. Because our smallest interactions are our most important. 🌱

Germ for atproto has been live for 3 weeks! We’re keeping 👀 on your comments as we prioritize next features. But first up has been making sure all of you can log in. We’re working hard to clean up logging in with atproto. We’ll keep you posted on our progress. Got questions? We’re right here. 🌱

Drop into a DM. Your future friends are waiting.

Find us here, today at 1 PST. discord.gg/hEc97Vz4

One day, we'll have every feature we need to be with our community. Until then... on Tuesdays at 1pm PST we link up in our Discord. What's on your mind?

literally just tap the button

we love that for you 🖤

Germ encrypts your messages all the way from one *end*, your phone, to the other *end,* your friend’s. That’s end-to-end encryption. So no one can listen except the person you’re talking to.

You opened the app to feel connected. So connect. Drop into a Germ DM now. 🌱🌻

what's a DM without a notification?? btw, you can set notifications on germ by the user you're talking to, and also by the card you shared 🧐

Our AC protocol is built for strongly authenticated identity integrations. Another post from our cofounder Mark explains how Germ sends E2EE messages between you and your friend’s atproto handles. 🤓🔁

👀

On Germ DM, you’re chatting with your atproto handle using the strongest authentication in the Atmosphere. 🤠🐃 To understand how, start with our Autonomous Communicator Protocol—which explains how Germ delivers E2EE messages without an underlying namespace. www.germnetwork.com/blog/autonom...

Everyone: I don’t want a whole new platform. I just need one safe place to talk. Germ DM: Say less 😎

When you see someone's germ button, just tap. Our App Clip takes it from there. Straight to your E2EE DM.

Hit us up for support getting your Germ Friends feed set up!

For Discord Tuesday, let’s help you get your Germ Friends feed set up. Find us there today and every Tuesday at 1pm PST.

You set up Germ. You remixed the feed. Now send the message. ⚙️🏎️🛣️

Germ DM is for friends. Make more friends with @fran.pw’s Germ Friends feed! Remix this feed on @graze.social and add your handle to the logic. Voila: a feed of friends you can Germ DM! www.graze.social/feeds/32843

Curious about Germ? There's a blog for that. germnetwork.com/blog

You keep checking their profile. The button’s right there. Just send the DM. 😅📲

The logic is: If you follow me, I can message you. You opted in to connecting with me, so I can just opt-back in to you by sending a message
