Signal Messaging Protocol/ Service

Matrix.org/Riot.im was recently hacked

Signal has proprietary Google blobs and Moxie hates libre forks that use his servers. (see LibreSignal[0])

Sure it's not the best protocol in the world, requires GCM for notifications and the servers are closed-source but at least it's somewhat better than botsapp while at the same time being pretty userfriendly.

I'm doing the same, i use the app AutoResponder for WA to redirect those that contact me on WA to Signal. If someone is interested in talking to you will take 2 minutes of his time to download an app. Those that aren't well they were probably using you or wanted to get something and not give nothing back.

Maybe in the future i will redirect people to Matrix, but at the moment the protocol seems to me half backed and most of the clients, expecially the mobile ones, really suck.

It wasn't the Protocol's fault, they were using an old Jenkins installation on their servers and using some very bad practices to secure their servers. Now they fixed the issue and probably will pay more attention in the future. Shit happens. Only because it was hacked once doesn't means that you shouldn't be using it anymore.

Imagine all the embarrassment you could have avoided here conflating social democrats with the left if you had simply took some time away from your busy shitposting schedule and read a book for once.

What’s the degoogled fork of signal?

You have to meet up with the person first, so that's not very usable for me. Otherwise it's great.

You can self-host rocket.chat, I believe. Not sure if it has the push-to-talk capability. Mumble definetly has it. And there is also Riot, but it's unfinished.

You're sad, just sad.

Whoa.
