Signal is getting Cloud Backups - Futurology Today

We are getting Cloud Backups in the future! Currently, there are two tiers planned: The free tier offers: * 30 days of media backup * ??? GB of storage The paid ($3 / mo) tier offers: * media & text backup forever * 1TB of storage Both tiers’ features and the pricing of the paid plan are still subject to change What do you think about this?

About how we could decentralize Signal - Futurology Today

Many of us (or at least me) would probably like to see Signal getting decentralized. Here are a few thoughts I had about this recently. First let me define three persons: * Peter (using the official signal.org [http://signal.org] instance) * Ted (using the example.com [http://example.com] instance) * Andrew (using his own instance under andrew.chat) Couldn’t we use the upcoming username feature to build a decentralized signal network? For example with a modified client or maybe just a modified libsignal library we could parse the instance from the username which would look like an email address ([email protected] [[email protected]] or [email protected]). If the username doesn’t have a domain part it just uses the default instance (so Peter just has the username peter.94). Maybe we have some people here who are already familiar with the Signal codebase and willing to assist?
