@desirable_dialogue well you are correct, however it always depends on ones risk model. Does #Cwtch has postQuantum encryption? Briar doesnt, and even if it had it's not usable enough for your average person, also you have to set up a Mailbox to receive messages while offline. Cwch really seems interesting thanks for sharing I didnt know about it. But if it does not have post quantum encryption for some risk models that only leave Signal, SimpleX and well iMessage(claim they have it).

@miramarmike Love this. Yesterday, my love arrived home following a week away at a conference. I spent the last week mostly on my own, recovering from surgery. Last night's hug, in the car port before she's even reached the house, was the best medicine I've had all week.

#hug #cwtch #goodmedicine

There's only two questions to a hug that matters, where do your arms go, and how long is too long?

@uhuru
#DeltaChat has no forward secrecy.
And depended on SHA-1 and using MD5.
Both are considered weak cryptography if I'm not mistaken.
While I believe deltachat to be a great app with good use case, it's not what I'm looking for.

#xmpp ecosystem is?/was! pretty bad in serving proper e2ee cross platform implementation.
Till recently there was only conversations as a usable app. Since some weeks ago it seems that @dino now also offers e2ee by default. But also both conversations and Dino using an outdated omemo specification, and are by that not compatible with @kaidan.
I will reconsider xmpp when they adapt the newer specification.

@briar not mentioned, but also no, cause it's not working on #TailsOS or on android with Orbot.
So very much unusable, since it's not running on the platforms we use.

#simplex, no, I don't like nor trust the dev.

#cwtch, yes, maybe

Ein neuer #Messenger der deutschen Firma #Volla, der vielversprechend wirkt?

To prepare for the "star wars' empire and allies" next move against this nice and friendly community? shouldn't we do a threat model based on attack scenarios of what could be (cyber)attacks against our masto communities: How to protect mastodon servers from being shutdown by third parties? How to secure them further? How to distribute them further? How to use tools like veilid, cwtch, spritely or even more commercial ones like storj to continue exchange the files and be capable to scale quickly up or move quickly from A to B in case of third Party disruption of URLs used by activitypub at CDN/DNS level? How to enhance comms so that they can resist specific targetting of specific information diffusion? How to make the new free social network resilient to any dictature controlling the internet communications (DNS, CDN,...) and using automated AI driven content scanning searching for forbidden words? How to secure its supply chain and ensure that the codebase cannot be suppressed from GAFAMs controlled code repositories?

Maybe some of the good questions for FOSDEM 2026, crypto/steganography communities and for beer discussions everywhere amongst EU and US liberty and democracy defenders?

How to protect freedom of speech and trustable secure communications for "we the people" in democracies and ensure they cannot be disrupted?

Time to show that hackers, cryptographers, real cypherpunks and strong techies of today can even do better than the old ones of the 1990s to defend their liberty to think, exchange and love in democracy respecting everyone. New generation, go for it and the oldsters, well support them with what you learned from life after all these years.

🚀 Oh, rejoice, dear users! Here comes #Cwtch, the Welsh whisper of #privacy, offering to cloak your #metadata in a shroud of decentralized hugs 🤗. Because, of course, what every social technophile dreams of is a protocol so open it practically begs to be ignored 📉.

Just read this thread on privacy guides about SimpleX and Cwtch and it really dives into some important insights and critic of the two secure messengers - definitely worth a read if curious.

@rod2ik Au gouvernement ils aiment bien essayer des trucs qui, sur le papier semblent cool mais qui, au final, dans l'exécution sont complètement ratés.

Alors qu'il existe #mistralAI, qui est une très bon outils français dans laquelle ils pourraient très bien investir parce qu'elle existe déjà.

C'est comme la tentative ratée de développer et faire adopter #Olvid une alternative à #briar #briarapp #briarproject ou #cwtch #opensource

@sarahjamielewis @dazo @ambiguous_yelp @GeorgKrammer @simplex @light

In summary, I don’t think the #SimpleX approach of assigning ids to user connections instead of users, and using their own onion routing, provides superior metadata-resistance as compared to a centralized service like #Signal.

In most scenarios, it will provide less metadata-resistance (but will be more convenient to use) than a #p2p messenger like #Briar or #Cwtch.

hi does anyone actually use #cwtch? ​:bunLurk:​

The secrets of the universe are yours! But you are going to need a secure line and an advanced energy source.

Need a little help with this one?
