Would you like to know more? 😅
This only tells us what they do by default and without gag-order. They could still be forced to log specific users and are barred from telling us by legal request.
Furthermore, it is known from Telegram disclosures that the FBI has been approaching staff from messenger companies with the offer of quite a lot of money to act as moles inside these companies.
As long as Signal is a centralized service with servers in the US, neither problem can be solved and that makes Signal inherently unsafe to use.
I was referring to the “no account creation required” and given how other online services seem to be doing fine with accounts I don’t think it is as big of a hurdle as you make it seem.
Of course automatic discovery of accounts based on phone numbers is a different topic, but there are also plenty of people who hate that feature (Telegram has a special feature to not allow that even).
Sure, I understand. However it will be hard to find volunteers helping out if they can’t even understand what is on the website.
On a side-note: https://jix.im/ is a Polish operated free XMPP service that might be willing to put up a virtual host for your domain on their XMPP server.
Toyota: hold my beer, I’ll call it bZ4X (sic)!
Obviously the gplay version is more convenient and also updated more quickly, however the F-Droid version is compiled by a trustworthy 3rd party, so you can be pretty sure that what you get is really based on the officially available source code and does not include any hidden modifications. Depending on you “paranoia” level that might be relevant to you or not 😅
If their GDPR / cookie dialog is showing the typical dark patterns of trying to get you to consent to data sharing and your ad-blocker blinks like a Xmas tree with all the external JavaScript resources being loaded, you can be pretty sure that this website is actively disregarding your privacy. Sadly this applies to most commercial websites these days.
Your Skiff Mail account gives you access to the first-ever end-to-end encrypted productivity suite.
CryptPad would very much disagree with that.
Dunno, hard to say if this Skiff thing is good or not, but reading their website raises some red flags… might be just BS marketing though.
Definitly Mumble. Great audio quality and very low resource requirements.
It even has a new very nice web-client these days. Disroot has a test instance.
Also the great Pumble Android client got forked and now it back in active maintenance. It’s called Mumla now, get it via F-droid.
Edit: Guildbit allows you to temporarily set up a Mumble server for free.
Yeah, and they get really offended if you tell them that…
