I want my secure comm codebase to be at least source available for verification, preferably open source.

[โ€“] [email protected] 45 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

No thanks. I don't see the source code anywhere.

[โ€“] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago

Is it open source?

The thing about messaging apps is, that they are worth nothing, unless the people you want to message also are using it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

This i know. But the majority will not move by itself. I told my fam that im no longer on whatsapp and if they want to get in contact they should either msg me through signal sms or just call.

[โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

Sorry, it's not worth much if it's closed source.

Matrix, XMPP, SimpleX, Molly (signal fork without closed source blobs) lots of good opensource options out there.

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I dont think its open source. But if foss is what you are after then this might not be for you.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Apparently, they are considering going open source.

I am also considering farting on the mother of everyone who reads this comment.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Good luck with that - her urn is on my safe.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That does not make her un-fartable.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It makes it trickier and you won't know which urn is hers.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hmmm. Now I just need to know how many urns you have.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

You know what they say "one good urn deserves another"

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

"It's French"...

I'm sorry. Maybe it's alright, but that doesn't inspire confidence.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Matrix via Element X is my choice

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Another day another opportunity to shill SimpleX-Chat.

Open source, no users ID. Not even anonymous ID's.

Use https://lemmy.ml/c/simplex https://simplex.chat/ European (minority US VC), OpenSource, most secure and not centralized and multiple Profiles, routing over multiple servers Its what skred aims to be: "you donโ€™t need any email address or phone number to use it. Skred is open. No subscription is necessary, thereโ€™s no operator, no SIM card and no tracking." https://simplex.chat/

I tried it, but it is quite heavy on the battery ...

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Was that with constant notifcations or 10 min intervals?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

P2P? Why not just use briar instead
