I said it before on Mastodon. I'm reposting this again. Comparing #DeltaChat and #Matrix together, if you want hassle free and consistent messenger for private #E2EE chats, don't go for Matrix. DeltaChat is way better.

However, if you want something like a public forum, or a public chatroom, don't go for DeltaChat. Matrix is way better suited for that. And DeltaChat does not support public groups at all. In DeltaChat groups, there is no admin or moderator and everyone have got permission to remove or add the others.

I think I have to write a longer post on my personal blog about these two, comparing them together.

PS: Another Matrix encryption bug few minutes ago triggered repost of this.

Movim offers a feature-packed social and chat alternative to the big centralized and proprietary platforms. ✨

It is decentralized, fully built on the #XMPP Internet standard and can easily be deployed on a simple web server.

Which social or chat platform do you think Movim replaces the best? 🤔

Signal is a secure messenger, but there are interesting alternatives, such as @matrix , @session , @delta , @simplex or XMPP …

➡️ matrix.org

➡️ getsession.org

➡️ delta.chat

➡️ simplex.chat

➡️ xmpp.org

If you’d like to learn more about these options, have a look at the responses to this toot.

Session | Send Messages, Not Metadata. | Private Messenger

Session is a private messenger that aims to remove any chance of metadata collection by routing all messages through an onion routing network.

you could be recommending #DeltaChat that is an #e2ee #email client with an UI that looks like #WhatsApp, you could even provide it to your users as a chatting #decentralized solution using your email server, which fits with your business, but instead you prefer to recommend centralized phone-number based apps like #Signal 😭

Another reason to use ALT text which some people might not have considered: it benefits people who are not visually impaired as well.

As #Mastodon is #decentralized there is no central network hosting all of the images. Should the admin of a server decide to purge old images to save space, users accessing older posts will not know what an image was without an ALT text.

Take this post from 2022 for example.

@alttexthalloffame

A screenshot of a Mastodon post from 2022 which lists 3 textual steps for catching a mountain lion, followed by an image showing the fourth step. However, the image is no longer available as the original server has purged it. The image has an ALT text, allowing the reader to understand what the fourth step would have been, had the image still been available to see. If the original poster had not included this ALT text, readers would have been left with an incomplete understanding of the original post.

Why Would Anyone Use Another Centralized Social Media Service After This?

So, it’s been quite a year for legacy, centralized social media — and all without any really big change to the laws that govern it (yet — the EU’s are coming into force shortly, but pos…

As the hype for #decentralized systems (e.g.: #mastodon), where no could buy the whole service, continues, I want to also introduce decentralised #communication.
Ever heard or tried a #matrix #messenger? A new, decentralised protocol of communication to allow multiple participants join the network with different clients and servers. You can choose whatever fits you best. You probably wanna start here to try it: element.io/ (Get a client, choose a server)
For more background information, see here: matrix.org/
@matrix

Matrix.org

Matrix is an open standard for interoperable, decentralised, real-time communication

the Article sounded good, is has all the necessary Buzzwords about #Freedom with #OpenSource and of course how to Support the Course, until I read at the end about #Patreon. 😒

First you complain about BigDataCompanys and #centralized Systems against #decentralized and after all this you seriously advice Patreon as a way to support. What a cruel Joke?

Why not something like #LibrePay or Alternative? 😉
