<h2>What kind of security does cabal have?</h2>
<p>All traffic is encrypted using a symmetric key, meaning that anybody who has the <code>cabal://abcdef</code> key can read cabal network traffic.</p>
<p>IP addresses are not hidden. By sniffing internet or local network traffic you could potentially discover who is involved in a cabal.</p>
<p>Cabal shares the same encryption primitives as <a href="https://dat.foundation">DAT</a>. The security parts of <i><a href="https://datprotocol.github.io/how-dat-works/">How Dat Works</a></i> is a good summary of how encryption works in cabal as well.</p>
<p>Cabal's cryptography is yet to be audited.</p>

<h2>Why am I an admin when I join someone else's cabal?</h2>
<p>Cabal has implemented a <i>subjective</i> moderation system. What that means is that everyone is an admin from their own perspective.</p>
<p>The moderation system has two tiers: <b>admins</b> and <b>mods</b>. Mods can hide other users entirely from view.
Admins can assign mods, in addition to also being able to hide users. We are currently working on additional
abuse-prevention features that will tie in to the existing moderation system.</p>
<p>You can read more about cabal's moderation system in the <a href="https://substack.net/zine/cabal.html">cabal zine</a></p>

<h2>What's the plan for media embeds?</h2>
<p>We have a work in progress (<a href="https://i.imgur.com/p0NA0mV.gif">gif</a>) of it in <a href="https://github.com/cabal-club/cabal-desktop-mini/tree/files">Cabal Mini</a>, one of our
desktop clients. Once that is finished we will implement support for it in the other clients</p>

<h2>How do I get chat history when I connect the first time?</h2>
<p>To get chat history, you need to be connected with at least one peer who has the history.
But it doesn't matter which peer you connect to, since everyone in a cabal has the full chat history locally.</p>
</div>
<div>
<h2>How can I support what you're doing?</h2>
<p>Join the <a href="https://github.com/cabal-club/">Cabal Club</a> by contributing to one of the clients.</p>
<p>If you want to help financially (we're doing this in what spare time we have over after jobs) you can donate to our <a href="https://opencollective.com/cabal-club">Open Collective</a> :)</p>
