Ethical. Federated*. Open.

Spread the word ✨

* - I know signal isn't federated, consider @matrix or @xmpp alternatively

@dansup In what possible sense of the word is signal federated? I genuinely was unaware of this.

@pwm It's not; that's why there's an asterisk by it with a note at the bottom.
I'm guessing he added it as there's not really a federated messaging platform at the level of WhatsApp yet.

@techindepth27 oh the post got edited, I see.
Deltachat would be a sane suggestion in its place imo as it runs over email. Alas.

@pwm Looks interesting, I don't think I've heard of Deltachat before. By far the biggest issue with new messaging apps is you have to get everyone you're talking to to switch too and I just got most of them to get Signal so I don't think I'm going to be able to get them to switch again lol

@techindepth27 @pwm just wanted to say that actually Delta's onboarding mechanism is the simplest and fastest i've seen. Start it the first time, write your name and that's it. Because it's not linked to a phone number nor pre-existing email, you don't have to go hunting for a confirmation link/code. Made the transition super smooth for a bunch of friends here
