What I dislike about XMPP is that the client ecosystem is definitely weaker than DeltaChat. DeltaChat “just works”, and it works incredibly similar and efficient across devices.
But yes, I wouldn’t mind if the world used XMPP instead, honestly.
EVERYONE SHOULD DOWNLOAD SIGNAL for PHONE-NUMBER-based communication, tho. Proper RCS is not here yet (and won’t be in a long while), so let’s try to mobilize people to Signal.
DeltaChat is cooler for non-phone based communications, IMO, and decentralization makes it way sexier and worth this tradeoff.
Because if you pay, you can have as many Proton accounts as you please.
That one is infuriating. Having a good client is so key to adoption… And Element is still really, really bad. Yes, it has almost all the features, but refusing multi-account is so so so annoying, and being Electron garbage is horrible. They have so much funding it’s ridiculous.
XMPP is another case where adoption has mostly failed exactly because there are no “flagship” clients that do it all.
That’s why DeltaChat looks so good. The official clients work great everywhere, and they can do it all!
Check out Luanti. It used to be called Minetest. It’s a libre version of the same thing.
Tutanota is also german, if I am not mistaken.
If you want a compatible, interoperable email service, then Mailbox. Tutanota is a propietary, centralised email system.
Did you guys know Firefox is still libre software? 😱 Like, all data usage is verifiable 🤯, and you can easily configure it so it doesn’t call home… Right? 🥵
Every couple of months there is an alarmist trend to kill Firefox, and then it turns out Firefox stays as the big libre option that respects your privacy and fights for freedom.
I am not saying they will never fail. But they haven’t so far. And that’s what matters.
I swear this question comes up everyday in Lemmy 😅.
Firefox, I just use Firefox because, it works, it has enough privacy measures, and everyone is looking at the codebase, something that cannot be said about most (if not all) forks.
I was a Signal defender (although I still use it because it’s better than Telegram or WhatsApp) but now I’m more pushing for DeltaChat, Matrix and XMPP.
As long as you have a Google or Apple phone in your pocket… The car will actually not gather much more than your phone already does… So don’t overthink it.
Was the Ventoy binary blob issue resolved and it’s cool again?
