Da hier ja periodisch FUD verbreitet wird bezüglich Messengern die tatsächlich digital unabhängig machen (nein nicht Signal) nochmal ein Link zu einem möglichen sehr einfachen Einstieg:

https://quicksy.im/

und noch ein Video wie das dann aussieht:

einfach mal selber ausprobieren.

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.

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.

On peut aussi utiliser #quicksy, du même auteur.

@codewizard @rimu @Jerry @prav Better than #WhatsApp because we have users privacy as priority unlike them. Their business model depends on collecting personal data. Signal is better than WhatsApp, but it still controlled by a single organization. Prav is part of #XMPP network so people who don't like Prav have choice of using other apps like #Quicksy and still talk to all #Prav users.

@tuxicoman @prav it is very close to #quicksy in current state as we started from quicksy. It offers a choice to users - they can choose either Quicksy or #Prav without considering what their friends are using and users of either app can talk to users of the other app. We made small changes already like changing SMS provider so it works in countries like Nepal and Brazil where Quicksy SMS don't get delivered. We hope to offer custom username option and may eventually get other features.

@prav

I don't get the difference with #Quicksy it's not obvious

Thanks to @double_a_runi 's 'how hard can it be attitude' we have fixed a regression in @prav 's contact discovery when we updated our #android app, but did not update the server in sync (both are based on #quicksy).

So with this, we are set to exit beta and consider ourselves stable / Generally Available soon.

If you agree with our mission to make #xmpp mainstream with an experience similar to mainstream messaging apps, consider donating at https://prav.app/donate #prav

Anyone used #AltStore Classic to sideload apps on #iPhone ? #AskFedi

https://faq.altstore.io/altstore-classic/your-altstore

#Apple #FreeSoftware #iOS #prav

@prav was rejected by #Apple from app store saying it is similar to #Quicksy and #Monal. So we are exploring our options to make Prav available to iPhone users. Ideas and help welcome.

We are also looking at #aptoid and also filing a complaint with Competition Commission. Why should we allow Apple to gatekeep apps on iPhone?

Spannend, dass dort ab Minute 28 #Quicksy installiert wird.

War interessant anzuhören.

I'm testing #xmpp with #snikket today. It was straight forward to install the server. Like 10minutes. I was very impressed!!

But then the problem started… with #encryption key managment problem.

Basically I wanted to write to a #quicksy user (aka myself) and that didn't work because of some 'Aucun appareil pour qui chiffrer ce message n'a été trouvé. Recherche d'appareils en cours…'

I know that there is a lot of work to improve the situation. I'm open to report bugs, but I have no idea if it should be done in snikket, quicksy, gajim, kaidan …
