#messenger #session, Finally after I registered my office apple phone with #Signal I found it subsequently 'natural' to use real private communication with #SessionMessenger app. I had used #Xmpp (Conversation app) and #DeltaChat with only single persons for limited time. I guess my 2 google-free android phones should follow the signal app for my job distinctively. However fediverse is also on my iPhone

Firewall Trouble mit dem @session Messenger.

Damit Session durch die Firewall geht, braucht ihr folgende TCP Portfreigaben:

22021
4443
22111
22115

und IPv4 Adressen für Android und Desktop App (Linux)

152.53.246.220
198.98.61.187
209.141.42.118
184.107.141.171

Ich hoffe, das hilft euch bei der Konfiguration.

Fight the #EU & it's Orwellian Law✊
People will install Custom #Android ROM's on their #SmartPhone's (Stops EU Scanning App) & people will use App's like:
#SessionMessenger
#SimpleXChat
Maybe even #MatrixChat over #Tor or #I2P
Also EU people will turn to VPNs outside of the all seeing eye👁️ of the EU🇪🇺
The baddies will surely be doing all of that, so this law will stop nothing

@tunkuluchu Buena suerte, me gusta #signal, me gusta #SessionMessenger, me gusta Matrix, pero nadie quiere hacer el esfuerzo de crear una cuenta.

Un problema poco relacionado pero que creo que ayuda a que la gente no cree nuevas cuentas es que no usan gestores de contraseñas y les da cosa estar creando cuentas que no recordarán.

Tan facilito que es usar #bitwarden

#censorship is a thing on the modern internet, more so than ever with west and east clashing in #imperialist_wars . We, the people, need to keep in touch with those on the other side of the fences.

#Signal has announced Censorship Circumvention. This lets users in areas were Signal is blocked still use it through masking and proxies. There is hope forks of Signal such as #SessionMessenger may follow.

In the name of #privacy and #security , here is how to activate it:

@Geniusak @alternativeto
What do you mean by native?

#SessionMessenger has a #LinuxApp, #AndroidApp, #MacOSApp, #iOSApp and #WindowsApp.

@alternativeto
IDC!
I use #SessionMessenger from a while now!

@poveraccio @FlavioB
Here's what I use:
#Computer #OS: #Linux
#Browser: #VivaldiBrowser
#Messaging: #SessionMessenger (mainly #European, service nodes are everywhere)
#Email: #ProtonMail and #VivaldiWebmail
#MapApp: #CoMaps
#Office: #LibreOffice
#CloudStorage: #Filen_io and #ProtonDrive
#TranslationApp: #DeepL
#AIChat: #MistralAI
#ImageEditing: #GIMP
#Blogging: #VivaldiBlogs
(I especially like that #SessionMessenger is entirely #FOSS, unlike #SignalApp)

I hope this helps :)

P.S. Please ask if there's something I missed. I tried to put here the most used types of tools, but maybe I forgot some

I have received the #SessionMessenger node staking reward (#SESH token) https://stake.getsession.org . The cost (shown on https://arbiscan.io explorer) was $0.002 (staking cost was $0.17). It may not seem high, but if the price would only be electricity cost, then the $0.002 is equal (in my country) to:

Turn on 10W LED bulb for approximately 71 minutes
Charging a mobile phone for approximately 179 minutes
Running a computer (100W) for approximately 7.1 minutes

seeing that, the TX does not seem so cheap... I have not found any information on how is #Arbitrum One fee made up, but read that it has been significantly decreased by the developers in the past..

This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is live:

* #DeltaChat community meet and Desktop version
* #SessionMessenger network switch

Of course, that doesn't mean they automatically get to influence the project direction and compromise its values. However, as far as self-hosting on minimal/budget systems goes, #chatmail wins.

Also, SimpleX plans to integrate #cryptocurrency (like #SessionMessenger did) in the future so that will add more complexity.

Hat jemand praktische Erfahrung mit #SessionMessenger und mag diese hier teilen?
