Does anyone have any experience with and/or as viable alternatives for WhatsApp/Messenger/Signal? Are they any good, particularly for group chats and video calls?

@elexia

Also multiple compromised contacts or infiltrators in spaces can corroborate your identity in semi private signal groups by just looking at your username: then signal can put a phone number and IP to that username. Nothing like that is possible with SimpleX unless of course you deanonymise yourself always important to mention that.

@elexia

And the reason its not possible is because for every chat or dm you join a new queue is created with new keys, so your subscription to one queue is not any indicator of your subscription to any other, and your IP is obsfuscated either using the default ip obfuscation or by connecting to tor servers (an opt in setting in the gui)

@fredy_pferdi Simplex has an official mastodon you could mention lol. I'm all for political rehabilitation but I dont think theres anything he can do or say that would ever make it appropriate for him to continue holding the power he has again

Also sucking cock isn't an insult its a normal part of human experience, its a livelihood an expression of love and an amoral pleasure

@fredy_pferdi

I do agree it should be forked for this exact reason bringing back trust

I believe that the environment evgeny has cultivated is deeply exclusionary and is hampering their own development efforts, maybe they wouldn't need to charge for access if they weren't so hateful that they drove away so many people who would contribute for free

@fredy_pferdi

I do hope a competing public server infrastructure emerges that aims to survive purely on donations (like matrix.org or signal) but like I said if they want to charge for access that's a social problem not a technical one, forks wont fix it

@fredy_pferdi

Servers will always be able to charge for access at least this way it will be anonymous. even if you use a different client the simplex servers arent just going to let you sent traffic to them if they want you to pay, the bigger issue here is promoting more free to use servers and encouraging more people to self host to spread the costs (also should be mentioned that free limits aren't going away such as the file size limit of 1GB and delivery window of 48h those will remain free but they want you to pay for more) group size concerns me more but no one can make them provide server bandwidth for free

Heres a tutorial for self hosting over tor which is supported out of the box

@escape_velocity

Thank you for being the only other person I see on my feed talking about simplex its refreshing

Imo its the gold standard in private anonymous group messaging. Better than Signal, briar, cwtch, deltachat, meshtastic.

All of them have some benefit over simples whether it be signals ease of use and stability, briars ability to share the binary over bluetooth, cwtch's simple in-app gui for self hosting, deltachat's interoperability with email, or meshtastics resilience in mesh networks.

But only simplex has no profile ids, quantum resistant encryption, advanced invite/multi profile management, as well as being decentralized

I think that especially anarchists and activists should seek this level of privacy because compromised contacts can have their conversations with you be corroborated to show you are the same person when you have a static id even if its a random string

Since I don't get to talk to people who use simplex much I should mention why I dont talk to the people in public simplex rooms: it skews far right because the creator is a trans hating[1] climate denier with a bunch of other right wing beliefs I cant remember, you know the usual.

That being said the developers have very little control over what happens on even their own servers: they can disable invite links they dont like but not rooms (invites can easily be regenerated), they can remove file links that get reported but not messages, (files are deleted after 48h anyway bc its a relay network they cant delete it when group members have it cached) and if either of these are hosted on another simplex server since its decentralised they cant do anything

except ig the nuclear option to totally cut connection to stop their own users connecting to users on that other server. but simplex is fairly simple to self host, we should be moving away from the official servers anyway

@xoron looks nice! 😊

But what are the difference with #simplex or #jamy ?

Is it that it's only in the browser?

@eversten @menel @maexchen1 Danke für das Angebot, ein bisschen neugierig bin ich schon. Aber... voriges Jahr habe ich schon einmal #Delta und #Simplex ausprobiert und konnte mit Delta Selbsttests und mit Simplex nette Tests mit jmd hier von Mastodon machen. Dann sind die Gehversuche eingeschlafen, weil niemand aus meinem Bekanntenkreis diese Messenger nutzt. Ich befürchte, dass mir #XMPP außer akademischem Nutzen auch nicht viel bringt?
(Ich habe nie WA gehabt, seit über 10 Jahren #Threema und seit über einem Jahr #Signal)
Dir/euch viel Erfolg! #dutgemacht

@Nekator

🥴🤷‍♂️ und das ganze wird leider noch schwieriger werden sobald die kommen sollte und dezentrale Lösungen wie , ,... wichtiger werden wie je zu vor

@Nekator Für Menschen, die mir nahe stehen, oder solche, die mich interessieren, nehme ich viele Kompromisse in Kauf. Es gibt sogar solche, die ich nur per Post gut erreiche, weil sie weit weg leben, alt sind, am Telefon schlecht hören, weder Smartphone noch Computer besitzen. Unter dieser Prämisse erscheint mir die Ablehnung, eine andere Messenger app zu installieren, ein ganz anderes Signal zu senden.

Schalom/Hallo,

ich suche vor allem im echten Leben (offline), aber auch hier auf Mastodon & allgemein im Fediverse, bei PeerTube, gleichgesinnte Torahchristen, messianische Juden und andere Menschen, die auch Interesse am Austausch, Gemeinschaft und Vernetzung über die beiden Messenger SimpleX Chat, Threema (Libre), Jitsi oder Jami für Audio- und Videokonferenzen haben & sich auch für die Themen über Gott, Bibel und Welt, Gesundheit, Medizin und Nachhaltigkeit, Geopolitik & Weltwirtschaft, Technik, freie Software und Hardware und Musik interessieren.

Dann meldet euch doch gerne bei mir. :)

Gerne persönlich am östlichen Stadtrand von Berlin und Umgebung und ansonsten auch über Internet aus Bayern, Österreich, Schweiz & weltweit. Also am Besten mehr analog als digital, was für mich persönlicher ist.

Weitere Informationen über mich und meine Person samt einer Beschreibung, Kontaktmöglichkeiten und auch noch weiteren Links findet ihr genau hier:

linklist.me/@eleazar

Ich freue mich auf eure Rückmeldungen und auch ernsthaften Interessen daran. :)

@evin its possible, my matrix was `@ambiguous_yelp:matrix.org` but I got a new account on ahimsa.chat (address in bio), my profile picture hasn't changed in years.

I main simplex over matrix now because its more private and anonymous, I can go into the technical reasons if you want but I recommend simplex for most messaging use cases now

¿Threema ya no es segura?

Durante años, Threema fue la app de mensajería favorita de los expertos en privacidad: sin número de teléfono, con servidores en Suiza y un enfoque claro en la seguridad.

Pero algo cambió.

Cuando una app promete privacidad, no basta con el cifrado: la confianza, la gobernanza y el modelo de negocio importan tanto como la tecnología.

🔐 La privacidad no se pierde de golpe. Se erosiona poco a poco.
