@jikodesu I answered /broken/, but broken can mean many things. #Wireapp & #Tutanota have gone down the #designedObsolesence path. So I will just let the device stay broken on that regard.

Even in the most obviously case like the phone getting run over, i would seriously consider carrying a paper notepad instead, until the tech industry makes something suitable.

#wireapp just shit the bed.

Naomi Brockwell discusses the messenger apps in this 2021 video.

Including why Telegram doesn't actually belong in a list of secure messenger apps any more than Meta's Facebook Messenger does.

Encrypted Messaging Survey

I am interested in your thoughts regarding encrypted messaging apps for the ordinary user. The use case is: typical user who is concerned about their privacy and has a family and social circle of people who use iOS and Android. As such, iMessage and RCS are off the table. Of the following, which would you recommend and why? Are there others that should be considered?

Thanks!

@stux @batalanto It’s gotten worse now. #WireApp recently switched their whole website over to #SiteGround, a service that mistreats Tor users.

@stux For the record, the #Wire repo for #Debian users (wire-app.wire.com) is now blocking #Tor. So I'm calling #hypocrisy on #WireApp.

Has anyone here tried both #WireApp and #Nextcloud Talk? I'm curious which provide higher quality, more reliable video calls?

Yes I'm aware that #NextcloudTalk relies on having your own server (or a friends) unlike Wire. What I'm really interested in though is finding the most reliable, privacy friendly #Skype alternative for my family (including low tech family members). Right now we're using Wire, which has a really nice interface... but call reliability leaves a lot to be desired.

I wanted to self-host the Wire messaging app and took a look at their repository on GitHub. It looks like they really don't want me to self-host it at all.

You might be open-source but you ain't free software if you hide the information on how to host your software. 😠

okay okay. I'll trye #wire #wireapp ... you can look me up under @israuor of course.
