The email system is much more than SMTP/IMAP or even openpgp btw ... there is plenty of room for radical shifts and new takes. We are just starting :)</p>

I got nothing for Signal. I used my brother's phone number but the 6 digit verification number just doesn't come.. He doesn't even know what Signal app is, so I doubt he used his phone number to sign up.

Guess this isn't the day to meddle with Signal. "No Signal" I guess :(

I'mma stick with SimpleX chat. This and the email. I dunno about Matrix+Element though

Gerade den #SimpleX-Messenger kennengelernt und zum ersten Mal ausprobiert. Sieht auf den ersten Blick vielversprechend aus, wenngleich gar nicht massentauglich

Interessantes Konzept. Man hat keine User-ID und teilt statt dessen einen Link. Der Link kann ein Dauerlink auf ein eigenes Profil sein, kann aber auch ein Einmallink sein. Gleich mal Video-Telefonie getestet ... geht prima!

Delta Chat

There is no shortage of startups and enterprises animated by, or outright proclaiming, replacing e-mail as the de-facto open internet messaging standard. VC Investors are forever fascinated by funding such endeavours. #matrix #simplex #slack etc are examples.

#deltachat endorses e-mail but reconfigures and repurposes it to serve for interoperable instant messaging. The #chatmail server network relays end to end encrypted e-mail only, and servers are reduced to dumb store-and-forward relays.

@adbenitez This is just not the way people typically use messengers. Everybody is used to using their phone number as an identifier for whatever messaging solution (SMS, WhatsApp, iMessage, etc.). It's a much better idea to just use a messenger with sufficient metadata protection. No Matrix, and nothing based on email then. @signalapp and @simplex are probably the best solutions.

if cops get your phone

I hope you're using a secure phone then. #GrapheneOS has stood really well against forensic companies like Cellebrite. grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/
You can also use the @mollyim client for Signal to encrypt your message database, which on modern devices is also tied to the hardware keystore. github.com/mollyim/mollyim-and

They're still unable to exploit locked GrapheneOS devices unless they're missing patches from 2022. A locked GrapheneOS device also automatically gets back to BFU from AFU after 18h by default.

@scy They're all pretty bad. Threema has some major issues with their encryption protocol: infosec.exchange/@Fiona@blahaj

Delta Chat outright lacks forward secrecy, and also doesn't use post-quantum cryptography.

XMPP and IRC are a mess, and essentially unusable for less technical users.
When considering or recommending a messenger, always ask yourself: Would your grandma be able to use it? If she encountered some issue, would she be able to find someone, other than you, who could fix it? That unfortunately rules out a bunch of messengers.

I think best option is to use the @mollyim client for Signal. The second best choice would be @simplex
