Wieso wird im Rahmen der #DiDay Bewegung eigentlich ständig @signalapp empfohlen? Wo laufen denn die Server von denen? Laut Internet auch in den USA auf Amazon, Google und Co…

Oder habe ich etwas übersehen?

UPDATE: Weil mein Post offensichtlich von Fans als Kritik an Signal verstanden wird: meine Frage war, ob ich etwas übersehen habe im Sinn von „Signal Server sind nicht nur bei US-Anbietern gehostet“. Ich hätte gerne Digitale Souveränität mit Signal, nicht einem x-ten anderen System.

Meine Kritik richtet sich an diejenigen, die von digitaler Souveränität reden, und dann doch wieder etwas empfehlen, was dem Cloud Act oder der Kontrolle Trumps (Kill Switch) unterliegt.

Der #Signal #Messenger ist schon ganz gut.

Aber wieso er in Bezug auf den #DigitalIndependenceDay immer wieder als empfehlenswerte #Alternative genannt wird erschließt sich mir nicht.

Da gibt es meines Wissens doch Andere mit wesentlich weniger digitalen Abhängigkeiten.

• Delta Chat (15%, 2 votes)

Interesting TWIM.

Did you know monocles chat supports pinned messages? You can pin multiple messages, stacked so the most recent appears on top. In the next release you’ll also be able to jump straight to a pinned message’s location in the conversation and also pin images and files.

- Pinned messages stay visible and are easy to find later.
- You can pin multiple messages at once.
- Pins are useful for action items, decisions, and deadlines to keep conversations focused.
- Save frequently used links, instructions, images or files.

The upcoming version of monocles chat will introduce several enhancements, including support for XEP-0118, enabling you to optionally share the music you're currently listening to with your contacts.
This feature enhances social interaction by allowing users to discover new music, share their tastes, and connect over shared interests, fostering a more engaging and collaborative experience within the app.
A big thank you to the developer who contributed to this feature!

***Attention! If you miss MSN/Windows Live Messenger, AIM, and/or ICQ, this is for you! If you use a screen reader and want a 100% accessible messenger client, this is also for you.*
This works with Windows XPthrough 11, and I'm logged into it as I write! It's called Escargot, and it revives Windows Live/MSN Messenger. This is the original software, but it has been patched so that it connects to the escargot.chat server and not the Microsoft one. It is 100% free and accessible with NVDA and I'm sure JAWS as well. They also have projects for AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) and ICQ, including for Android and IOS, and are working on a web client for MSN. (I don't know if AIM or ICQ are accessible with screen readers, as I have never tried them). Anyway, if you're over twenty-one (my personal request), have read my profile here, and wish to add me, I am dandylover1@escargot.chat. You can find everything here.

Note: If you already have Windows Live/MSN Messenger on your system, you will still need to download their version and create an account. Your Microsoft, MSN, or Hotmail one won't work for signing in. Also, remember to click on RUN_AFTER_INSTALL.exe, in order to patch the program to the Escargot server.

Hey folks. I've noticed #DeltaChat hasn't got a page in #Wikipedia. Do you know sources which would prove its notability so we could create a page for it?

Boosts appreciated. If you don't know sources, someone else might.

#ElementX nutze ich schon länger parallel zu #Element für meine Chats.

Nun habe ich aber das neue #SchildiChat Next ausprobiert.

Es basiert auch auf ElementX, hat aber #Spaces integriert. Das gefällt mir sehr gut. Damit lassen sich z.B. Chaträume übersichtlich ordnen.

#Matrix ist für mich nach wie vor ne gute Sache. Ich würde es auch WhatsApp-Wechslern eher empfehlen als #Signal ... vor allem auch, weil man sich damit nicht vom Smartphone abhängig macht.

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.

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.

Thanx!

I would suggest a meme for switching #WhatsApp to #XMPP and a second one for WhatsApp to #Matrix@matrix@mastodon.matrix.org

Der Messenger »Doctolib Siilo« richtet sich an den medizinischen Bereich. Direkt nach dem Start verbindet sich die App zu:
- Google Firebase
- Adjust (Tracking)
- Google Crashlytics (Analyse/Tracking)
- Google Firebase Remote Config
- Google Firebase Logging

Um Erlaubnis wird nicht gefragt. Besonders brisant: Das personenbezogene Datum (Google-Advertisting-ID) wird ausgelesen und an Adjust übermittelt. #DSGVO und #TTDSG Verstoß.

Genau so geht Datenschutz nicht. 🤷‍♂️

#Followerpower ist gefragt. Nachdem großen Update der Messenger-Matrix habe ich noch den Line-Messenger ergänzt. Ich bitte alle #Follower mal einen prüfenden Blick auf die Matrix zu werfen - insbesondere auf jene Messenger, die ihr selbst benutzt. Sollten Angaben nicht stimmen bzw. überarbeitet werden, so meldet das bitte. Entweder hier oder über die Projektseite.

Today, two open letters from academics on the scientific arguments against the current #CSS (client side scanning) initiatives have been released:

* The first (in English, internationally coordinated) one is online at tinyurl.com/CSAScientistsLette… and still open for additional signatures.

* The second (in German, by #Austrian academics) one is online at ins.jku.at/chatcontrol/ and explicitly includes law experts in addition to the arguments from a security, privacy, and AI perspective.

This debate is expected to gain new steam with #Spain taking over the EU council presidency, given recently leaked statements like "Ideally, in our view, it would be desirable to legislatively prevent EU-based service providers from implementing end-to-end encryption" (wired.co.uk/article/europe-bre…).

Please boost on any channels you deem adequate. The discussion is still open, and we have little time to bring it to a more rational level.
