I have no qualms in seeing messaging apps copying the best features from one another; interoperability would be nice though - if you prefer WhatsApp, Signal or iMessage you do you... But allow everyone else to communicate securely and privately with each other. #Technology #innovation #Messaging #messagingapps

No more user or #appstore lockins & #MessagingApps will have to interoperate with others.

Inside Matrix, the protocol that might finally make messaging apps interoperable via TechCrunch. https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/30/inside-matrix-the-protocol-that-might-finally-make-messaging-apps-interoperable/?guccounter=1 #Matrix #MessagingApps #Interoperability

1. #TRIfA und das #TOX-Protokoll. TRIfA ist eine Instant-Messaging-App, die Video- und Dateiübertragung unterstützt und plattformübergreifend ist. Was mir aber am meisten gefällt, ist die Netzwerkphilosophie, die komplett Peer-to-Peer und dezentralisiert ist, etwas, von dem ich denke, dass meine Genossen von :fediverse: es verstehen werden. :goose_hacker:
Es basiert auf einem gemeinsamen Protokoll TOX, das eine Vielzahl von Entwicklern dazu ermutigt, verschiedene Anwendungen zu entwickeln. Es gibt natürlich auch Einschränkungen, aber wie bei den meisten Open-Source-Projekten sind sie offen für diese.
Ich habe #qTox auch auf meinem Desktop benutzt, um mit meiner Familie in Kontakt zu bleiben. Vielen Dank also an alle Entwickler dieser Anwendungen, insbesondere an Zoff, der der Hauptentwickler von TRIfA zu sein scheint.

1. #TRIfA and the #TOX protocol. TRIfA is an instant messaging app, it supports video and file transfer, and is cross-platform. What I like the most about it though, is it's network philosophy of being completely peer-to-peer and decentralised, something I think my fellow :fediverse: folks will get. :goose_hacker:
It is built upon a common protocol TOX which encourages a diversity of developers to build different apps. There are limitations, but like with most open-source projects they are open about these.
I have also used #qTox on my desktop to keep in-touch with my family. So thanks to all the developers of these apps, especially Zoff, who appears to be the main developer of TRIfA
