I want to make it dead-easy for others to chat with me. I want a browser-based, FLOSS, E2EE chat solution that doesn't require the other party to log in. Does that exist? (lemmy.ml)

Here's my problem: every F(L)OSS and E2EE solution that I know of requires other people to download an app or log in.

I want to reduce the friction for others to communicate for me. I want to give a business card with a URL where people can go and immediately send messages to my Matrix or my email or something, and they don't need to log in at all.

They just open their browser, go to snek_boi.io or whatever and a chat appears.

A couple of years ago, I was suggested Cactus Comments. I suppose that works, but I was wondering if there are other solutions. I was wondering if now there was an even easier solution for my purposes.

This sounds amazing. It's unfortunate that Graphene OS has so much toxicity around it, but this design decision is amazing. Love it.

I tried quickly looking for the feature, but I couldn't find it. I searched for "Graphene OS Matrix chat homepage guest user", "Graphene OS chat homepage guest user", "Graphene OS chat homepage", and "Graphene OS homepage QR" but didn't find what you mentioned.

Toxicity? How so?

A quick search lead to these links. They're 3 years old. Maybe the community has changed since then.

It has. Strangely enough they posted a code of conduct after that feedback and started weilding the ban hammer. However I cannot speak to outside forums like XDA or Reddit or even comms here. I tend to stick to their forums or github

Oh wow. That's a pleasantly surprising code of conduct. If the code of conduct is consequential, I stand corrected about my view of Graphene OS.

"Respectful and kind". Amazing.
"Harassment is not tolerated". Hell yeah.
"Be respectful and constructive." Brilliant.
