  1. 🎉 Wow, stop the presses! 🤖 The world was desperately waiting for yet another open-source chat app that'll totally revolutionize how we ignore messages. 🌟 Can't wait to install it via terminal commands and pretend it's different from every other chat app out there. 💬🕺

  2. So, #Anthropic wants a new Slack, because obviously the world needs more chat apps. 🙄 Meanwhile, #Fivetran is busy turning data into the ultimate game of hopscotch, bouncing it from place to place with more buzzwords than your average tech bro meeting. 🚀🔄

    ...This means the server has no list of users and doesn't know who is who. If the server were hacked or seized, there would only be encrypted data without any context on who owns that data.
    Security: Excellent for avoiding mass surveillance. It is designed specifically not to collect any metadata. The compromise: The interface might seem a bit technical and the concept of "chat via link" is different from the habit of selecting a contact from a list; the app setup requires a bit of research and settings that aren't always intuitive.

    #DELTACHAT 🇩🇪

    The strength, "One-Click" Anonymity and Open Protocol.You can open the app and create an account by entering just a nickname. Delta Chat automatically generates, in the background, an encrypted email address on a decentralized "Chatmail" server. You don't need to know this address, you don't need to configure SMTP or IMAP servers.

    #SIGNAL 🇺🇸 🚫
    It is 🇺🇸 and requires a Phone Number. Metadata concerns. OpenSource but centralized. Warning: it uses "Big Tech" servers (Amazon AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, or Oracle). FREE & 100% Open Source BUT centralized on its own servers in the USA owned by big tech. It just takes any random blonde fascist pressing the red button and POOF you no longer have an app to chat with..

    -----LONG EXPLANATION-----(long)

    #SESSION 🇨🇭🔒️

    The strength: Anonymity and Decentralization. Session is probably the most "hardcore" privacy option on this list. How it works: It doesn't use your phone number. It uses a decentralized network (Loki, similar to Tor) to hide your IP address and your geographical location. Messages are routed through multiple nodes (servers) scattered around the world, making it almost impossible to trace who is sending the message and who is receiving it..

  10. If Snikket or Element could integrate the email protocol support from Delta Chat, in a way that supported E2EE with DC users (using Autocrypt), that would be my ideal comms client. Same if Delta Chat could support voice and video calling, over XMPP, matrix, and Jami protocols. Will SMS apps for MobileGNU integrate all this?
