@alexisbushnell np.
Also @monocles, unlike @ecosia, finances itself.with it's paid subscription #eMail, #Messaging & managed #Nextcloud service…
@stefan It's a bit frustrating when WhatsApp is the main support channel.
📞 Phone: not possible
📧 Email: response times feel like carrier pigeons
Why not offer Signal or Matrix as well? That would be much nicer.

[en] Signal #messenger: "two practical attacks that break the integrity properties of #Signal in its advertised #threat model" - Patched
Paper #ETHZ
"... protocol for resolving identities based on usernames and on phone numbers introduced a #vulnerability that allows a malicious server to inject arbitrary messages into one-to-one conversations under specific circumstances"
"The second #attack is even more severe. It arises from Signal's Sealed Sender (SSS) feature, designed to allow sender identities to be hidden ... a combination of two errors in the #SSS implementation in #Android allows a #malicious server to #inject arbitrary messages into both one-to-one and group conversations."

Greetings programs!! Bit of a later start due to a headache I had to sleep off, but he were go with more @pidgin 3.0 Alpha 1 work! Come on by!!
Weekend. Coffee and IRC.
The 1988 protocol. No algorithm, no ads, no profiling. Just communication.
In 2026, we take it for granted that communicating means going through platforms that monetize every interaction. It's not the only option. IRC, Matrix, and XMPP exist, work, and belong to no company.
The difference isn't technical. It's a matter of awareness.

I'm curious, dear people active in dark web and underground security research : Do you use anything else than Session for dark web trading and communication ?
Also, if you're using anything else, I'm curious on other prominent platforms.
Do you folks have security concerns with Session ?
According to https://matrixrooms.info/stats, the number of discovered federateable Matrix servers have increased by 3300 in February:
- 13'713 servers on February 2nd,
- 17'033 servers on March 3rd,
- 17'139 today.
A pretty nice growth! Decentralization in action!

Continuwuity v0.5.6 is hot off the press! Continuwuity is a chat server for communities that speaks Matrix - and our community has grown a lot recently.
This release we have a couple of small security improvements, as well as improvements to performance & reliability across federation, end-to-end encryption, appservices and URL previews! Take a gander at our release notes for more about that.
We've added four new chat rooms to our space to contain the explosion of people, so there's likely one for you - take a look around.
