So, I've been arguing with myself over whether I should resurrect my #Telegram account or not. From various sources, I get the impression that their platform isn't all that secure despite their claims. If memory serves, one of the sources said they wouldn't trust it with anything more than a casual conversation, and definitely wouldn't trust it with more sensitive topics. I'm not interested in using #Meta services, so things like #Messenger & #WhatsApp are not options I'd consider. At this point, my messaging options are #Signal and #Matrix even though the latter isn't the most #accessible option. Heck, when you get down to it, the former has a few accessibility annoyances on #Android which is the mobile platform I use. Decisions, decisions...
For the people asking about Sup, I've put it on hold pending the new EU laws that require interoperability with large platforms like WhatsApp and Signal.
I'm still working my way around the new laws and requirements so Sup can take advantage, but it requires some refactoring to be compatible.
I think @supapp has the potential to be a game changer for the fediverse, but I want to get it right.
After Loops, I plan to publish the app client + server, likely in May.

Is it just me, or did #Facebook recently kill #Messenger video calls in #Firefox on macOS? It used to work until a few weeks ago, now the call button isn't even there where it used to be. Works fine in Chrome. Time to convert my mom to #Signal?

#Meta ha dato un assaggio dei lavori per l'interoperabilità della messaggistica con #WhatsApp e #Messenger.
@ChrisWere A year ago I did a survey about #Messenger apps with more options.

I had forgotten #IRC there, but it wasn't mentioned in the open answers either.

In der neuen Beta von Signal können jetzt Benutzernamen verwendet werden. Die Telefonnummer (als interner Identifier) wird dadurch allerdings nicht abgelöst. Bedeutet: Auch in Zukunft ist die Telefonnummer für die Nutzung von Signal erforderlich. Man muss diese nur nicht mehr jedem Chat-Teilnehmer verraten. 👇
