If privacy is non-negotiable -which means you can't rely on Big Tech- you choose something you control.

Our first TI-Messenger compliant edition of ESS is here! This is built for the German healthcare system and ships with Synapse Pro 'in the box'.

It's the first time SP is included in a general release of our software and therefore represents a significant milestone in how we will work within the public sector to secure the future of the wider Synapse open source development, and by extension aim to secure the future of the entire Matrix project.

#Matrix #SecureMessenger

Genuinely naive question. 🙋‍♂️

If #TikTok can be pulled from the App Stores and make it hard/impossible for new users to install, could that happen for secure messaging apps (#signal, #session, #simplex, #matrix / #element, #deltachat, etc.)?

I know that the TikTok thing was years in the making, but there is some crazy shit happening pretty quickly lately.

"On Linux, automatic updates are not yet supported. Please update the app manually."

If you cannot provide an official repository for Debian/Ubuntu, what is preventing you from offering Threema as a verified Snap or Flatpak?

Outdated desktop app
On macOS and Windows, the desktop app automatically receives updates, which include improvements and bug fixes. If the error message “App Is Not up to Date” appears, the desktop app hasn’t been updated for more than 120 days. In this case, please update the app manually by downloading and installing the newest version of Threema or Threema Work.
On Linux, automatic updates are not yet supported. Please update the app manually.

Oh nice. For a test project I installed a #telegram app on a tablet with an empty #adressbook only to find out that it send out that information to obviously every Telegram user that had my number in their adressbook. How illegal...

And that happened BEFORE I could adjust any settings during the setup. I dont think I just missed that, but that is a big fail. It's been a while, but does #Signal do the same? I hate such practice.

@PWS_1 Und dabei ist das so unnötig. Ist ja nicht so, als hätten sie nicht geeignete Tools für den Zweck.

Secure Messenger im Unternehmen 📲

Die fortschreitende Digitalisierung hat die Kommunikation im Unternehmensumfeld revolutioniert: Die Einführung von Messengern hat die Kommunikation zwischen Mitarbeitern beschleunigt und die Zusammenarbeit verbessert. Dieser Fortschritt bringt jedoch auch seine Herausforderungen, insbesondere wenn es um die Sicherheit sensibler Unternehmensdaten geht 🔐

Any views on this? Eure Meinung?

@mitexleo Threema is my preferred choice. Swiss privacy protection law is exceptionally strong.

Threema is top ranked on security and a charm to use. Phone number was never a requirement (but can be used if you want to), and downloading the app directly from Threema to avoid Google Play has always been an option too. (Not for App Store obviously).

Threema is ridiculously cheap. No subscription, no “purchases in app”, just a small onetime fee.

@signalapp …plus you can even hide text to protect the recipient from spoilers. 👍

Thanks to #lemmy I saw this article regarding #CultofTheDeadCow 's new private protocol

"members say their protocol is built from the same digital DNA as the Tor browser and the chat app Signal and will be used to create new ways for folks to communicate, share files, and generally surf the web while simultaneously protecting their privacy."

The more, the merrier, right on!

So now we are waiting for a @session mastodon bridge that does allow for secure DM's ?

Kennt wer leicht verständliche Erklärungen, wie man sich ein Matrix- oder XMPP-Konto einrichtet?

Zielgruppe sollen Menschen sein, die sich mit Technik nicht sonderlich tief auskennen.

Как уйти от корпораций. Повесть во многих частях.
2. Мессенжер.

Не секрет, что переписку в мессенжерах корпорации рассматривают очень внимательно. А тот же WatsApp кроме ваших контактов скачает себе и ваши СМС с телефона, "чтобы почитать на досуге". Как не отдать своё личное общение другим?

1. Briar. Есть для Android.
Мессенжер без центрального сервера. Умеет работать через "луковичные сети", через Tor. Если нет прямого выхода в интернет - может подцепиться через доступный Bluetooth.

Минус - собеседник должен быть в онлайне. Иначе не увидит вашего письма. Но это же и плюс.

2. Signal. Есть для Windows, macOS, Android, iOS.
Любимый мессенжер Сноудена. Шифрование включено по умолчанию, работает сразу. Есть групповые чаты, голосовые- и видеозвонки.

Минусы: секретен, но не анонимен. Надо вводить номер телефона.

3. Session. Есть под Windows, macOS, Anroid, iOS.
Анонимный, не надо указывать ни номер телефона, ни почту. Работает через распределённую сеть. Шифрованные протоколы обмена.

4. TOX. Есть под Windows, macOS, Anroid.
Полностью децентрализованный мессенжер. Письма ходят напрямую, без серверов вообще. Шифрование из коробки.

Минусы: бывают глюки при попытке связи между разными версиями и платформами.

5. FireChat.
Может работать вообще без интернета, выстраивая свою сеть с устройствами, где установлен. Как рация в телефоне, "для своих".
Но это "условно-мессенжер" - для общения групп, а не индивидуальных разговоров.

Чем нельзя пользоваться?
Сотрите ICQ.
Сотрите Viber.
Сотрите WatsApp.
Сотрите Hangouts.
Сотрите FaceTime.
Сотрите Telegram.
Сотрите Scype.
Сотрите Facebook Messenger.

У вас есть на примете мессенжер лучше? Напишите мне про него.

Quicksy can help you find your contacts on XMPP as XMPP does not require any personal data to register so there are no alerts of contacts joining

The only downside (for many) to using super secure messengers is that they do not require any e-mail address or phone number to register, so the net result often is you have no idea if some of your contacts join later, and they won't see you either.
For XMPP Quicksy allows you to create a separate account on their service with your phone number (if you wish to) and in this way you can be alerted if any contacts join via the Quicksy service. This account is completely separate from your day-to-day XMPP account (or you could use it for day-to-day if you wanted to make your phone number known). https://squeet.me/objects/962c3e106f97eed2afb8e5257a6f2eef350914ec
