Gregory's Servercome use instant messaging, it'll be fun! you just have to pick your preferred platform:
- silicon valley enshitification machine
- nazis and grifters
- questionable privacy policies
- barely a MVP
- unapologetic walled garden
- less honest about being mostly a walled garden
- Unable to decrypt message.
- 2005 called, they wanted their messaging protocol back
- 1995 called, they wanted their messaging protocol back

@tay At this point, shimming SSL/TLS in to IRC and XMPP and giving the clients a modern redesign are more attractive options than the mainstream ones in use these days 💀 > barely a MVP how does the signal app still not have something as basic as a "sign out" button @tay Who needs a sign out button when you don’t even support multiple accounts to begin with? Lol I love the idea of Signal, but there’s decisions like that that I question the logic of. Also the networking effect and all that. @forgifuzzbutt yeah i just figured out why there's no sign out button (only a "delete account" button) because the only representation of your account is on your phone. if you get a new one you lose all your messages and have to create a new account @tay There is a flow of moving your messages over from one phone to a new one, but it doesn’t work across platforms and notifies anyone that you’re messaging that you changed devices iirc. But yeeeeeeeah @forgifuzzbutt and plus, it relies on you having both physical devices, which isn't all that helpful if your phone is down a drain or in some repair center @tay iirc the Android version actually does encrypted backups, but you’ll need to have to actually be backing them up somewhere else. iirc they don’t really talk about it much.  @tay 1995 any day of the week because there's nothing inherently wrong with being old |
