@linuxxx I use signal, I have almost managed to convince all of my friends / relatives to use signal instead of WhatsApp.
I guess ricochet would be a bit overkill :) -
@404response Oh awesome! We've got a signal group going on, interested in joining?
-
@404response Shoot me your number though here or email me at linuxxx@tuta.io and let's get in touch!
-
@linuxxx I will send you an email, just registered my tutanota email yesterday!
-
@linuxxx wohoo, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one liking Riot (matrix)!
I also like the concept of ricochet but it's a pain on multiple devices. There should be some kind of id merging/grouping. -
@ewpratten well I'm not a friend of signal as is depends too much on Google in my eyes.
-
edensg7787yspeaking of... keybase has a great new team chat feature. I've gone ahead and reserved 'devrant' as a team name, run `keybase team request-access devrant` and come hang out!
-
@ewpratten afaik it does all its messaging and notifications via Google messaging services. So while it's e2e encrypted Google knows all the meta data.
-
@JustKidding It provides an option without GCM since january! I block everything by google on my phone defaultly and it still works ;)
-
@linuxxx isn't Signal only available in the PlayStore? Without Google it might be an option for me ;)
-
No one mentioned Threema now I am worried there might be something wrong with it... master of privacy what are your concerns?
-
@needToRoll I used it for a while. But while it is hard to get other people to use free (as in speech and beer) it is even harder to get them pay for an app.
-
@linuxxx my answer before was addressed at @needToRoll s question about Threema ;)
-
@JustKidding I think threema's idea is great only its proprietary and I don't trust closed crypto :)
-
That's true, but I thought since you are in to privacy that much you might have payed for this app. Would be happy to use it more...
@linuxx can you please add Threema to your privacy site? -
@needToRoll I deffo will! Although this might sound crazy, it will be added to the non-privacy friendly side.
Solely because closed source can't be verified which is bad in general. -
All this stupid things about privacy and you are giving your phone number to a random guy on the net :)
-
th3113397yI also use riot and signal. I'd love to get in on one of those groups if there's a space!

Gotta say, I find it awesome that I can connect with some devRanters through encrypted channels.
It's awesome to talk to devRanters with the same mindset through channels that offer a very high level of security/privacy.
Thanks!
