I'm looking for a secure Messaging app replacement for #GrapheneOS but my web searches haven't turned up any clear answers. I use Signal and love it - I'm just looking for something for SMS/MMS that isn't as unsightly as the default Messaging app, with better use of the available screen real estate, and perhaps has some basic theme and/or layout options. Any recommendations from personal experience?

I think people will get confused by the way you formulated the post "secure messaging app" that is why you will get recommendations for Delta Chat and other encrypted messengers, maybe better clarify you mean "secure SMS app" to avoid confusion, and btw I recommend you to give a try to #DeltaChat as replacement for Signal, no phone number or any data required, decentralized, good multi-device, etc.

for SMS I liked "QKSMS" but that was years ago, see successor:

actually, #email (#SMTP + #IMAP) can totally be used for #InstantMessaging it is not the protocols it is the specific email providers and "big fishes" like #gmail and #Outlook the ones that put extra limitations on top like graylisting etc. with #ArcaneChat and #DeltaChat you can have sub-second (#ENCRYPTED) email delivery

Hello Mastodon!

I’m Avi Lewis and I’m running to be the next leader of the federal NDP. Very excited to be part of the Fediverse!

I’m running for NDP leader because it’s time for the NDP to return to its roots—fighting a system rigged for the rich that leaves the rest of us behind.

We can build a Canada based on care instead of greed, but only if we do it together. There are only 4 days left to join the NDP so you can vote in the leadership race, so get your membership before Jan 28th and let’s fight for a government that serves the many, not the money.

when you are trying to sleep at night and suddenly remember that #ArcaneChat / #DeltaChat are the only piece of software out there that makes it possible easily and for free to have a #decentralized #e2ee #mailinglist #newsletter (called "channels" inside the app) that is portable, doesn't depend on a specific/central #email server and can be easily migrated to a completely different server / address without any visible change or disturbance for your subscribers

Wellp, I've had it with the Asus routers. I'm simply done with their absolutely useless JAVA Script-infested-and-100%-dependence to make anything in their web interface do anything. Clickable buttons that at least NVDA recognizes as such, but still majority remain useless, JFW only sees text, with no label or control state information communicated. Sometimes clicking these random clickables/words of text do things, such as the main navigation, but try to set up VLANs, more detailed WAN configurations, port forwarding, pretty much 99% of the router interface, and its useless with a screen reader. For the longest time, I was figuring out equivalent CLI commands, and writing scripts to do more advanced stuff, hacking its NVRAM settings, and BASH scripts, but I'm just done with the whole damn thing. Of course, the Netgear switch web interfaces are no better, and that makes two of my switches management useless. I was able to enable an unsupported telnet feature in one of the switches, and was able to configure VLANs there through trial and error, and reading manuals for other switches using a similar Broadcom FastPath OS stack. I managed to make that work, but yet again, another ridiculous workaround that has about as much chance of breaking in a future update, as shit has a chance to come out of the end of a biological organisms digestive system on a regular basis. So its time to find a whole new stack and rip out my entire network and rebuild it.
