I love #Beeper. It's a Matrix based 'everything' chat application. Using Matrix bridges, it supports many messenger networks in one app.
I'm not using it for Signal, since it has to break the e2e encryption, which would make many of Signals security features pointless. For Instagram and Telegram however it's amazing and I don't consider them secure enough to have an issue with bridgeing them to Beeper.
I think I saw a software engineering pundit describe that as “the principle of least surprise”, and I very much like that phrase!
And today I discovered that I have some number of #Beeper invites to give out. Which I’d be delighted to share with the fedinet, ya know? Let me know.
4/4 -fin-
So about a month ago, I made it through the #Beeper waitlist!
I am *delighted* with it thus far.
My messaging story was a bit fragmented:
- my Dad and bestie on Signal
- my Mom and mentor on Facebook messenger
- my wife and some ex-Googlers on GChat or Hangouts or whatever the fuck Sundar’s calling it these days
- high school buddies on a group text
- a cadre of college buddies via discord
And now I have one chat app, and it seems to work pretty well thus far!

So I have been debating whether or not to actually set up #beeper for messaging because of the #Privacy aspect. Then I realized that those platforms that it wants to unify are ones I don't ever message important things on, minus signal which I didn't set up, so why not be able to unify all of the messaging apps that other people use to try to contact me. If you want a code to try Beeper message me here or on telegram @SivilianOnBace.

Chatting with others on Whatsapp, Telegram, iMessage, Signal etc. from one app is made possible with Beeper.
But what I really appreciate are two things:
1. The simple functionality to archive stalled conversations until the next new message.
2. That the conversations are available on all your devices.
Beeper is a service based on Matrix, an open network for secure, decentralized communication.
Thanks to the #asknoahshow for the tip!
I'm curious what people have to say about #Beeper. It's a universal chat program that promises to collect all your scattered chats and apps into one place. Even better, it's built on the free, open source and interoperable #matrix protocol. There's a waiting list and eventually it will cost a subscription fee to use Beeper's servers, but others could run servers on the same software. What's the catch? https://www.beeper.com #FOSS #fediverse #universalchat

Speaking of Pebble and Eric, I've gotten invited to his new service #beeper for like a week now (think I applied a month ago or so?) and it only took me till yesterday to actually go through the effort of setting it all up.
For what's essentially a glorified Matrix client with a bunch of pre-fabbed bridges, it's extremely slick and getting the apps linked up was hardly any more difficult than most third party app integrations. And it even supports RCS, so my main use case (messages) is covered!

So excited to have a different app than Google messages that support RCS
Found a Glassdoor listing for #Beeper where the website linked is Russian. It goes to www.te-ex.ru but that eventually redirects to voxys.ru.
Wie funktioniert das denn mit #Matrix und einer #WhatsApp Bridge (oder #Beeper)?
Wäre das eine Möglichkeit, in WhatsApp-Gruppen nur mitzulesen, ohne #Meta die eigenen Daten zu schenken? (Habe kein WhatsApp mehr, benötige aber leider regelmäßig die Infos aus zwei Gruppen).
Habe noch keinerlei Ahnung davon und über jede Hilfe dankbar.
