Rumor¹ has it that #Session, another shitty, (#centralized, #proprietary #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider) #Messenger is biting the dust.

• Seriously, how often do I have to repeat myself?
  • Stop using such crap ffs!!
  • Yes that includes #Signal, DIPSHITS!!!

@empathicqubit I think it's bad trying to compete with #Signal because of the aforementioned issues.

• And don't get me started on their #Shitcoin (#MobileCoin) and unsustainable business incl. hard lock-in on #aws.
  • Making them depend on the goodwill of #amazon.and thus the #US Government is just irredeemably wrong…

Call me a oaranoid tinfoilhat, but Signal has the same stench as #ANØM & #CryotoAG before then…

Stil thx for the blogpost link of @soatok …

@empathicqubit and whilst I don't share @soatok 's points entirely, @delta / #deltaChat should be the way to go even by his standards!

• #FLOSS
• #OpenStandard (#PGP/MIME)
  • Not "Yet another Server!"
  • not some #centralized / #SingleVendor / #SingleProvider thing.
• real #E2EE
  • #SelfCustody
  • You don't trust any provider!

@soatok @empathicqubit @delta then good luck getting anything done in #ITsec…

• For better or worse there isn't anything even remotely as portable and media agnostic as #PGP…
  • I'd too prefer something simpler but AFAICT there isn't something that is secure, self-hosting capable, auditable, self-custody, decentralized and agnostic to media.
  • Alternative implementations like enc also do the same!

@book Then you may want to get an extra pack of soft "cosmetic tissues" once you get around watching #CyberSix, cuz this has *very #IntenseFeels *…

@book sounds like something with intense feels…

@libreleah I do once the stop brownnosing one shitty manufacturer after the other.

• Personally, I think #eOS & #lineageOS does the job better.
  • Cuz if said #Firmware is only available for.highend-devices I might just buy one from a more reputable brand that actually does long-term support instead…

@libreleah I do admire the folks that maintain #OpenBSD.

• As much as it ain't gonna be my desktop OS of choice, I do admit that their consistency and focus on #Security is honourable and something everyone could take a page from.
  • Espechally since they ain't some snobbish guys going full "our hardware or die" like some other systems (cough #GrapheneOS cough)

Sorry had to migrate non-cooperatively from @kkarhan@infosec.space ...
