Encrypted A/V calls should work between #Conversations_im, #Dino, and #Monal. Also #Kaidan, #Movim, etc. At least one-to-one. Not sure about small groups (3..4), though. AFAIK, both Movim and #Libervia are working on support for larger A/V groups (≥ 5).

If you like to avoid #bigTech, you might like to avoid Signal, too, which is entirely based on AWS and Google.

I suggest #Dino by @dino (i.e. #Jabber/#XMPP), which works pretty great on #mobileLinux. Friends on Android and iOS can use #Conversations_im and #Monal, respectively.

At that time, I did not yet have my own #Jabber server, so I pointed them to well-known instances. It's better, if they are on different servers anyway, so they would not depend on me.

For those, you prefer an accound tied to their phone number, I asked them to install #Quicksy https://quicksy.im/ That worked out amazingly well. They did not need any help from my side.

Note, that Quicksy is practically #Monal on iOS, and #Conversations_im on Android.

Quicksy

A spin-off of the popular Jabber/XMPP client Conversations with automatic contact discovery. Sign up with your phone number and Quicksy will automatically—based on the phone numbers in your address book—suggest possible contacts to you.

I just went out for a walk and I thought: Maybe it is a good idea to publish an English version of my #Conversations_im video.

Non-German speakers: I am not a native speaker, so please give me some feedback if English #XMPP videos (by a non-native speaker) are helpful or not.

So, wie es aussieht, hatte #Conversations_im von @daniel ein neues Audit: https://gultsch.social/@daniel/114312670870760858

Außerdem würde ich bei #Monal und #Conversations_im Audio-/Videocalls grün machen, da die vorausgewählten Server der App (und die Apps) dieses beherrschen.

A big thank you to Radically Open Security for performing the audit and to @[email protected] for funding it. Radically Open Security has been a long term partner of #Conversations_im ever since they did the first #OMEMO audit back in 2016!

I’m delighted to announce that the OpenPGP implementation in #Conversations_im will see some love over the next ~6 months. Simultaneously, we will be laying the groundwork for OMEMO2 by implementing Stanza Content Encryption.

Thanks to funding from @nlnet and the European Commission.
