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

Interessanter #Tipp von @marco@caneandable.social für #blinde #Matrix Nutzer:
#ElementX statt #ElementDesktop auf dem #Mac installieren. Das ist mit #VoiceOver besser bedienbar.

Gebruik je #WhatsApp? Dan support je #Meta. #Instagram is ook van Meta.
"Het is dinsdag niet mogelijk om verschillende zoekopdrachten gerelateerd aan politieke tegenstanders van Donald Trump uit te voeren via Instagram."
Wil je werkelijk een bedrijf met zulke ondemocratische praktijken steunen?
Maak de switch je kunt het! Heb je vragen, laat het me weten!

The family of #deltachat apps uses #chatmail servers as ephemeral message transports that know nothing and forget everything: Servers don't store group metadata or cryptographic identities and delete messages after download by default. In effect, a 30EUR/month #chatmail server with 10K's of active users hums along with 2% IO and CPU pressure, 1GB RAM and negligible disk usage. No Pro-version or Kubernetes needed to scale ;)
a big shoutout and thank you for #Conversations_im and #XMPP #Jabber in general. Personally, I love it, works super smoothly on my #grapheneos and by large I prefer it to #matrix
Also, may #discord burn in hell!
I love open source, and I want young people to know there’s a career path outside of #FAANG. Open source can be financially sustainable—it just gets super hard if one of your key goals is making your investors even richer. #Conversations_im is about the same age as #Matrix. I never took VC funding, and I’m doing fine.
The Matrix.org/Element saga isn’t about sustaining Open Source development—it’s a tale of venture capital and corporate greed playing out exactly as foretold.

Message order in Matrix: right now, we are deliberately inconsistent, artificialworlds.net/blog/2024…, by @andybalaam.
Excellent article explaining different events orderings in Matrix, the impact and a possible solution.
Upcoming events:
We'll give two talks at #FOSSDEM about #chatmail and #deltachat in the modern email devroom, on Saturday late afternoon: fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track…
The friday before, we'll probably also appear and talk about about #webxdc at the #Matrix barcamp.
Sunday morning, our friends from @n0iroh namely @flub, will give a talk about the P2P-iroh network architecture fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event…
Otherwise, you'll find us mostly around #OFFDEM for chatting and more ad-hoc sessions.
Anybody having experience running a messaging service based on #xmpp or #matrix for approx. 1000 users?
I did deploy a #synapse (matrix) test install but was not impressed. Especially the federation feature consumed a lot of resources and the client experience was rather disappointing. Joining large rooms took ages even with the latest "fast room join" MSCs. Anybody having better luck with an XMPP deployment?
The #medium is the #message
Auf diese phrase von Marshall McLuhan machte @HGU@kirche.social kürzlich im #Matrix Raum der @onlinekirche@kirche.social aufmerksam:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_medi…
Vielen Dank für den Hinweis, der in diesen Tagen wohl besondere Aufmerksamkeit verdient.
Ich denke auch in Bezug auf #digitaleKirche. Oft habe ich von dort gehört, man müsse dahin wo die Menschen sind. Das ist ja auch nicht falsch. Aber sich von problematischen Systemen so abhängig zu machen, sich dem zu unterwerfen, fand ich schon immer fragwürdig. Viellleicht wären wir besser beraten gewesen, wenn wir mehr in Alternativen investiert hätten und jetzt umfassender sagen könnten, "Kommt und seht, hier sind faire soziale Medien, wir haben schon lange daran mitgearbeitet" ...
Insofern besonderen Dank an @librechurch@kirche.social fürs Betreiben einer #Mastondon Instanz und eines #Matrix Homeservers.

In an increasingly volatile world, governments turn to Element and Matrix
Governments need digitally sovereign, secure and interoperable communications. The demand for Matrix is palpable.Steve Loynes (Element Blog)
Following the example of GitLab and other VC-funded open source companies, @element goes 'open source almost everything' with "Synapse Pro";
"Synapse itself remains open source, and Element will continue to develop it proactively, just as it has for the last 10 years ... Available under a commercial license, Synapse Pro will help fund and accelerate the continued open source development of Synapse for the benefit of all of Matrix."

Synapse Pro slashes costs for running nation-scale Matrix deployments
Synapse Pro is Element’s best practice Matrix homeserver. It transforms the performance and economics of huge public sector deployments.Steve Loynes (Element Blog)
Regarding Matrix, a workaround has been implemented until webpush is supported by their specifications. Element-X has a patch going on to fix the default gateway (but Schildinext works), all other clients already supporting UnifiedPush should work
Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,
As 2024 comes to an end, it’s time to reflect on what we’ve built together during the first full year of life for BSD Cafe. Launched on 20 July 2023, this project has grown far beyond what I could have imagined. While I haven’t tracked full uptime data, I can confidently say that the downtime was less than 30 minutes overall - even though the main VM hosting our services moved multiple times (including a switch from a Proxmox hypervisor to bhyve on FreeBSD, for the sake of alignment with our mission). In a world filled with over-engineered HA systems, we’ve outperformed many “big-name” cloud providers. Not bad for a community project, right?
For me, this has been an incredible journey. The users here are not just participants - they’re collaborators, and their positivity has been inspiring. The content shared and created at BSD Cafe has been valuable not only to the BSD community but beyond. What truly sets BSD Cafe apart is the openness for dialogue and exchange. Whether it’s social media posts, Matrix discussions, repositories in our brew, or RSS feeds, people seem to genuinely appreciate what we create and the conversations we foster.
BSD Cafe is a journey - one that grows, evolves, and continues. Our goal isn’t endless growth (we’re a community, not a business) but rather to maintain a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone feels a sense of positivity and belonging. For me, opening any service with “bsd.cafe” in the domain brings joy and pride. That’s the spirit I’ve tried to convey, and I hope it resonates with all of you, whether you’re active BSD Cafe users or friends of the community.
Promoting self-hosting and #OwnYourData has, as a side effect, inspired some users to “go solo” with their own setups. But even then, they remain part of BSD Cafe - in spirit, in purpose, and in connection.
Here’s a look at what we’ve achieved together this year:
- mastodon.bsd.cafe: 370 total users
Active in the past month: 207
Active in the past six months: 286
- snac.bsd.cafe: 14 total users
Active in the past month: 7
- blendit.bsd.cafe: 61 registered users
- matrix.bsd.cafe: 23 users
- brew.bsd.cafe: 29 users - 80 repositories
- freshrss.bsd.cafe: 25 users
- miniflux.bsd.cafe: 11 users
- press.bsd.cafe: 9 users
- myip.bsd.cafe: Constantly used by various users
- wiki.bsd.cafe: Could use a bit more love and content, but it fulfills its role as a functional homepage.
- tube.bsd.cafe: Still in testing - Peertube 7.0 update is on the way.
For detailed stats from our reverse proxy and general router (excluding media services, which generate most traffic but are handled via caching reverse proxies), you can check here - updated hourly: netstats.bsd.cafe
The journey of BSD Cafe continues, and I look forward to seeing where 2025 will take us. Together, we’ve built something special - something driven by passion, shared purpose, and a little bit of the BSD magic that makes all of this possible.
Here’s to a new year full of joy, serenity, and connection. Thank you for being part of this adventure.
Wishing you all a fantastic 2025 - and THANK YOU!
Stefano

So, you're using decentralized non-corporate-owned social media because you don't want your online identity and activity tracked and held by some corporation, and even possibly a government-influenced owner (TikTok?).
I've opened an #XMPP (#Jabber) messaging server, which is based on the same principles as whatever application you are reading this on. XMPP is completely decentralized, open source, free, and volunteer run.
Also, neither member identity nor messages are stored on the server. There is no centralized control over the network. You sign up by first choosing a server. Your ID looks like an ActivityPub ID (example: support@chat.between-us.online).
Besides end-to-end message encryption, there's optional #OMEMO on-device encryption. No centralized messaging app (other than Signal) offers an encryption option this strong. There's video calling, file transfer, and both public and private chat rooms/groups. There are many messaging applications available for all operating systems.
You provide no personally identifiable information when you sign up, not even an email address. You only pick your ID and provide a password (which cannot be changed or recovered as the server does not keep identity information, so don't lose it and be sure it can't be guessed). If you delete your account, through the messaging app, there is no record of your account having existed on the server.
If interested, you can sign up on the messaging application (use chat.between-us.online as the server) or via the website at between-us.online, which also provides additional information about XMPP and how to use it.
A note about #Matrix. Don't @ me about Matrix. This message is only to announce an XMPP (Jabber) server option. I am not advocating XMPP over Matrix. I use Matrix as well. It ticks all the same boxes. This is just an announcement about an XMPP server.

Synapse 1.120.2 was just released with several security fixes: github.com/element-hq/synapse/…
You should really update now and while the last 2 CVEs say, they were fixed on 1.106, to my knowledge that is only true if you enabled authenticated media, which only became the default in 1.120, so you really want to update even for those or at least update your config.
Thank you! :)
Release v1.120.2 · element-hq/synapse
Synapse 1.120.2 (2024-12-03) This version has building of wheels for macOS disabled. It is functionally identical to 1.120.1, which contains multiple security fixes. If you are already using 1.120....GitHub
🚀 FluffyChat v1.23.0 is here!
You can now send multiple files at once. The login page got a redesign with SSO as the new default action (legacy password login still available in the context menu at the top right corner).
MAS account settings now available in the profile, making FluffyChat ready for the Matrix OIDC change! 💪
Lot's of new colors and style settings with much better chat wallpapers also landed in this release. 🐾

But in my opinion, the strong connection to a phone and number is not a good thing when it comes to #accessibility (for those who cannot afford a phone with a long-term contract):
Perhaps there are alternatives e.g. #XMPP or #Matrix...
Danke. Nutze parallel noch die "alte" #Element, wovon #SchildiChat nur ein Fork ist. Beide unterstützen Spaces. Dafür können beide Apps keine angepinnten Nachrichten. Totaler Clusterfuck, wenn nicht mal beide (!) offiziellen Mobile-Clients von #Matrix alle Standardfeatures unterstützen.
Und irgendwie rechne ich damit, dass SchildiChat auf mittelfristig eingestellt wird, sobald Element unter Android eingestellt wird...
Did you know the
#Kamailio project has a public @matrix room (and space if you're into spaces)?
Come join the discussions and talk with others about #SIP, Kamailio, and troubleshooting...
