I really wish someone would create a Matrix Web and mobile client (or maybe a customized client/server?) that was as simple to use, and full featured as the app.

Does that exist and I missed it?

Der Messenger ist für eine sichere Kommunikation nicht geeignet - standardmäßig sind die Nachrichten nicht einmal Ende-zu-Ende verschlüsselt. Besser geeignet sind oder . Übrigens: Elon Musk ist das Paradebeispiel eines Trolls. Einfach ignorieren. 😉

Mein Favorit ist ja immer noch Conversations, habe aber nebenbei immer noch Telegram benutzt. Warum? Es ist in FDroid erhaeltlich, Signal nicht.

Wenn Elon Musk jetzt gegen Signal hetzt und Telegram favorisiert, sollte ich doch mal Signal installieren.

Cohen says he sometimes contacted Pecker using the encrypted application - one of the small pieces of corroboration.

Prosecutors look for these opportunities to join up 2 different witnesses' testimony wherever possible.

Pavel Durov, the cofounder of , has been claiming that is backdoored since at least 2017 and presented no proof. In fact, he seems to be making the same arguments today as he did seven years ago.

M.E. ist @simplex die Lösung mit den meisten grünen Feldern. Wer also auf eine Nutzung im Web Browser verzichten kann und primär auf dem (und wenn auf dem Desktop, dann im selben Netzwerk wie das Smartphone) verwendet, der könnte auf diesen privatsphärefreundlichen und sicheren wechseln. 🙃

Insbesondere, wen die Zentralisierung von stört und wer darüber hinaus auch noch mit einen eigenen , und/oder Server förderieren möchte, um das Netzwerk weiter auszubauen, könnte mal in Betracht ziehen.

Unconfirmed: The Jia Tan persona may have chatted with 's Lasse Collin primarily over , as opposed to IRC or some other medium. It is probably impossible to read much into that if true, and may be impossible to ever deduce much about this story from it, but if confirmed, this would be a useful bit of information.

Dear @Gargron,

A fediverse server called Threads is violating mastodon.social’s second server rule:

“2. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia…
Transphobic behavior such as intentional misgendering and deadnaming is strictly prohibited.”

https://glaad.org/smsi/report-meta-fails-to-moderate-extreme-anti-trans-hate-across-facebook-instagram-and-threads/

Can you please defederate from this server to protect the trans people on mastodon.social?

Thank you.

IMHO, allowing Fedi to become a small curiosity on the outskirts of would be our death knell. We mustn't underestimate how evil is. They don't tolerate competition, they don't play fair, and they don't care how much damage they do as long as it makes money or entrenches their hegemony.

La la la. No this doesn't sound sketch.

Telegram is offering a new way to earn a premium subscription free of charge: all you have to do is volunteer your phone number to relay one-time passwords (OTP) to other users. This, in fact, sounds like an awful idea — particularly for a messaging service based around privacy.

@signalapp

There's no "phone number privacy" as long a people are forced en mass to supply phone numbers and have them kept on record.

While that happens it's just a matter of time until that data goes to someone else, either by a backroom deal, legal enforcement or security breach.

For all we know it's already happening.

Real privacy is not requiring phone numbers at all.
