Why didn't I hear about this until the day of?
-
Is it the band The Contradictions?
-
Good point, thats the correct way to look at it.
-
Yes! Internet fame achieved!!
-
they don't have it on the new app yet, and it's not super intuitive to begin with compared to signal or whatsapp
-
matrix and xmpp just don't have the intuitive onboarding that signal has when coming from whatsapp
-
And Signal isn’t?!
Signal is centralised.

You now understood both my point and the OC’s, I hope.
-
the new cryptographic protocol protects metadata, like signal. the servers know nothing about any encrypted chats

Haha awesome. Thanks for sharing your videos

Kinda feels like bluesky is already going to hell in a handbasket, so maybe not.
-
They are treated like letters because they arent instant, like letters. Hell, some emails could take full minutes to send.
Only time I have the problem is when people attach large files. While is the same problem with other "IM" methods.

You're welcome
(btw, nice username)Yeah they've tried to make it as similar as whatsapp. But it's hard convincing your entire family to switch again after signal just because you found a cool new app to switch to, lol

While not part of the fediverse if you want Twitter like activity I would suggest BlueSky. However I am also on Mastodon and I find it to have plenty of activity. It’s not the fire hose that Twitter is but to me that makes it much more manageable.

Scan a QR isn't difficult, there are also tantum links
-
People moving from Xitter to Bluesky don’t understand why they moved. They have no clue.
-
George Takei is active of mastodon. There are many journalists and scientists. Tons of developers. A few small celebs. Also, many people I don't want to be here are not here. That's a plus for me.

My personal opinion is that Threema is still a viable alternative to WhatsApp. The app is open-source, there's even a 'libre' variant on F-Droid. The service is proprietary though. The jurisdiction (Switzerland) seems more trustworthy currently. I don't really understand the business model of Threema: It seems like they have some revenue from a commercial service "Threema Work". The initial cost for purchasing an app license does not really contribute to sustainability I guess. I suspect it is more for making scams more expensive. I hope they can be sustainable from that and don't need to start doing shit.
