@neil Im concerned how this will affect decentralised social media like #simplex https://simplex.chat #briar https://briarproject.org & #cwtch https://docs.cwtch.im these services r so decentralised there aren't even servers that facilitate users directly its more like a participatory network infrastructure, its undeniably user-to-user but what are they going to do charge every simplex relay operator? Or every node in a briar mesh? Or r group moderators liable instead?
#SimpleX is considered controversial?
But yes, Signal being phone number based is an obvious alternative, even though pretty centralized
I just wish there was a good messenger
Requirements (exhaustive list):
1. Easy to sign up for for non computer touchers
2. Allows managing multiple identities on a single device
3. FOSS client (FOSS server optional but preferred)
4. E2EE
5. (Optional) Supports modern messenger features like replies, reactions, custom emoji, stickers, voice calls, etc.
There are a number of nice to haves like being self-hostable and chat history sync but I'm willing to compromise on those.
#Signal has great UX and phenomenal security but afaik fails completely at point 2
#Matrix and #Jabber / #XMPP fail point 1
#Discord fails points 3 and 4
#Whatsapp fails points 2 and 3
SMS fails points 2, 3, and 4
#Telegram fails point 2 and, if Soatok is to be believed, arguably 3 and 4 as well
#SimpleX looks good (I'm willing to trust its security) and is very easy to sign up for since there's no concept of an account but there's still some friction and it's dicey on point 1, also complete anonymity is often not desirable
Ugh
SimpleX founder approving of right-wing extremism

@rysiek @simplex The #SimpleX brand account also promotes right wing slop, retweets posts from right wing accounts, and "love[s] Twitter and the role it plays in the world."
It's not at all disconnected from the project itself. This defending of right wing bullshit under the guise of "defending free speech" appears to be inherent to SimpleX's philosophy. Of course, people will screech about "keep politicks out oaf mah softwayre!!"
Evgeny also retweets Lunduke lol.

#Android (late late late) #SpringCleaning:

@uhuru
#DeltaChat has no forward secrecy.
And depended on SHA-1 and using MD5.
Both are considered weak cryptography if I'm not mistaken.
While I believe deltachat to be a great app with good use case, it's not what I'm looking for.
#xmpp ecosystem is?/was! pretty bad in serving proper e2ee cross platform implementation.
Till recently there was only conversations as a usable app. Since some weeks ago it seems that @dino now also offers e2ee by default. But also both conversations and Dino using an outdated omemo specification, and are by that not compatible with @kaidan.
I will reconsider xmpp when they adapt the newer specification.
@briar not mentioned, but also no, cause it's not working on #TailsOS or on android with Orbot.
So very much unusable, since it's not running on the platforms we use.
#simplex, no, I don't like nor trust the dev.
#cwtch, yes, maybe
Hör auf rumzuheulen, #Kuketz ! Hör auf #Messenger zu pushen die #Metadaten verraten & sammeln, so wie #Signal (gilt auch für #XMPP,#EMail, #DeltaChat, #SimpleX, #Session & Co.) Ansonsten machst Du dich mit dem Hashtag #UnPlugTrump nur selber noch unglaubwürdiger!

@kuketzblog Diese Vollidioten. Sie würden #SimpleX chat in hundert Jahren nicht verstehen geschweige denn nutzen oder die Nutzung empfehlen
so is this #simplex a thing or not?
Anyway i think it needs privately hosted servers to be a real alternative to centralized services like Signal.
For the fun of it i set up a SMP & XFTP server - hosted in Germany. No Onion adresses at the moment, may follow later.
VPS is contracted for 1 year, so the servers will stay around atleast until April '26 (maybe even longer).
SMP: smp://rTQAEQ_imEoNOkRqOIFBeNfZCSk3OSg39DTAuNn4voM=:qvDriJcHnDZe62I5qPqU@smp.clttr.info
XFTP: xftp://JqCuLmVngaqbdAcjhszOEl2oNL_TWIIj9HVNSIlJrj0=:GFAIcBb3TtDZ4vE0IanS@xftp.clttr.info:4433
AdminForge has SMP servers as well: https://simplex.adminforge.de/
#simplexchat
#SimpleX Chat lässt seinen Traffic über den US-Cloudanbieter Akamai laufen (US-CloudAct) und wird u.A. von VillageGlobal.vc finanziert.
Also von den BigTech Buddies die #Trump gerade in den Allerwertesten kriegen: Mark #Zuckerberg, Jeff #Bezos, Bill #Gates = also absolute No-Go´s!

#SimpleX enthält auch Technologie von Signal. SimpleX ist aber dezentral und mit starkem Privatsphärenschutz und .onion-integration (und #Flux) out-of-the-box. Es ist für mich einfach die nächste Evolutionsstufe nach Signal.
