We can't exchange encrypted mail with people outside Proton - it just sends a link whose password you then need to share through a secure platform like #Matrix, #Briar, #Session, #SimpleX or #Signal. Then why not just send the message on that secure platform in the first place?
Encryption for some is a lost cause.
Encryption for all or it's just another walled garden.
Wouldn't it be possible to restore communications in #Gaza using a mesh network (Bluetooth, WiFi...)? Gaza is very dense, it should technically work, and with devices on the other side of the borders (Israel, Egypt) connected to the internet, it should even be possible to get data out and in from the internet to this local network. Does anyone know if such an app exists? If it doesn't already exist, who would be willing to put together a team to code it?
@dunglas #Briar if you want just a messaging application (by wifi and or bluetooth) usable by anyone #GNUNet if you want a complete network layer but hard to set up
I am not comfortable that signal depends proprietary google library. However, I find that Molly lags significantly behind signal (around 1 to 2 weeks, so maybe not as significant as I thought), but I am just concerned that if there is a security fix in signal, molly will not be able to react as fast....
I've seen you mention before how Signal and Telegram are better than some of the more commonly used messengers.
What are your thoughts on Briar and SimpleX Chat? From what I've been able to find on them, they seem good, but you seem like the person to ask about them.
Is there anything in #ActivityPub that prevents mass surveillance? seems like (most) meta data is shared openly between federated nodes, wouldn't be hard to info mine or index the fediverse, especially if you're a giant corporation or modern intelligence agency.
@cjgyt@LALegault Aside from Signal, there are a number of other free/libre/opensource apps for texting & chat like #Tox, #Wire and #Briar All of them have a much smaller user base.
Die Diskussionen über die Messenger-Matrix sind in der Regel spannend, manchmal aber auch herausfordernd/anstrengend. Wir haben nicht nur ca. 84 Millionen Bundestrainer, sondern auch Messenger-Experten. 😉
A dire il vero non uso nemmeno il sistema di Chat aziendale. Ritengo sia più facile comunicare con sistemi che disperdono le informazioni più facilmente #telegram#signal
Quisiera usar más #Briar, me parece muy buena la app con el tema de los foros y los blogs. Solo tengo un contacto para interactuar, pero me gustaría formar parte de algún foro o grupo.
