@HistoPol @kino @smallcircles is not limited, is just the basic requirement, you don't have privacy if you don't have transparency and you can't have transparency with close/privative software

So for a WhatsApp replacement the base requirements should be

- Free software client/server
- Federated/decentralized
- Allow self hosting, so if you don't like X location of the server you can use you own server in the location of your preference
- Support e2e encryption, ideally by default and required

Ironía es no tener Agua para apagar los incendios que consume una ciudad entera pero si tiene para enfriar sus servidores de AI, climate-disaster-as-a-service #ClimateChange

@kino @HistoPol @smallcircles well close source/private != Privacy, you cannot own your data in your own server, you can't audity the code so you don't know what they do with your data

@kino @HistoPol @smallcircles so instead trust many tech people that audity the code we should trust what one company behind those server said?, With XMPP you can choose several server some of those behind social activist such as disroot or use your own server

@smallcircles
No sure about #Threema but #Signal is a centralized service that use Google Api and doesn't allow redistribute/publish is free service such as #FDroid, what about #XMPP or #Matrix ?

@kino @HistoPol @smallcircles reading about Threema is similar to signal in terms like the server is close source and not #decentrilized / #federated like #XMPP or #Matrix
