“When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on.”
This isn’t an ad, I wasn’t paid for this post. Just to clear the air: fuck facebook, fuck elon musk and twitter, fuck anyone who thinks this is a paid advertisement. I wish I was paid for this shit, I just wanted to spread the word. Thank you. 😀 👍
Or just use Matrix/Element. No phone number needed, plus federation!
The disadvantage of matrix is that a lot of metadata is generated. Good architecture in terms of idea, but unfortunately no privacy messaging.
Depends on the use case. For one on one messaging or small group chats, Signal is great! If you need a Slack/Discord replacement, Matrix is your go to.
Matrix isn’t really as smooth. Once Revolt gets a good android client then I’ll move my group chats to there
When’s the last time you used Matrix? Its definitely smooth nowadays.
Hmmm… Looks good! I’ll keep an eye on it.
Wait, there doesn’t seem to be any encryption in Revolt. 🤔
Looks like it’s in the plans, by default. All good.

@Cevilia @TendieMaster69 XMPP > Matrix. Proper IETF internet standard, less bloat and not dependent on venture capital funding.
The main problem with XMPP is that there is literally no clients with good UI.
I gave up on Element. It was using more battery than any other app and I didn’t know anyone else using it. Now I’m just using Session or Telegram for anonymous messaging. Yeah, I know Telegram is not ideal.
