Von Quicksy zu Conversations (Schnellanleitung)

https://makertube.net/w/g6yGQSZvghvHvsLSjzLKpy

🇩🇪:
Wer letzten Monat den #Conversations Channel verfolgt hat, ist vielleicht auf folgende Aussage gestoßen (siehe Bild).

Sollte Conversations im Zeitraum 05.08.26 - 18.08.26 wirklich kostenfrei im Play Store verfügbar sein, wäre das die Chance für Quicksy-Nutzer:innen einen Wechsel durchzuführen:

🇬🇧:
People who follow the Conversations channel might have seen this text passage (see picture).
This would be great news for Quicksy users.

Ich habe heute mal ein ausführliches Video zum Verschwinden von #Quicksy aus den Stores für #iOS und #Android zu machen. Enthalten ist auch eine Anleitung, wie man nun vorgehen kann.

Ich muss mal schauen, ob noch eine Kurzfassung kommt:

Quicksy ist aus den App Stores verschwunden... was nun?

https://makertube.net/w/71fFhdnpVHBg5bhchUAs9d

I am currently thinking about creating a short #XMPP video about #Quicksy .
Content: Moving from the Quicksy app to Conversations/Monal.

Background:
The app Quicksy is not available in the app stores because new registrations are not possible anymore.

More information:

What do you think about this idea?

Ich überlege gerade, ob ich ein kurzes #XMPP Video (deutsch/englisch) zu #Quicksy mache. Thema: Der Weg von Quicksy zu Conversations bzw. Monal.

Hintergrund:
Die App Quicksy ist nicht mehr in den App-Stores verfügbar, da Neuregistrierungen nicht mehr möglich sind.

@prav is now declared stable for everyday use at #PravConf 26, Thiruvananthapuram!

We have been running it as public beta testing for over a year already.

We have been able to resolve issues we noticed during this and we are now confident to provide a reliable service for everyone.

Though we still have many more improvements in mind.

Thanks to everyone who helped us and looking forward to your continued support.

Prav is built on #Quicksy.

@fdroidorg weekly updates mentions @prav fund raising for SMS costs. Thanks for sharing and maintaining #fdroid!

"Prav developers explain how the service is funded and make an appeal for donations to keep the sign-in function alive.

If you believe in decentralized, open protocols for communication, built on #FLOSS, #Prav and its upstream #Quicksy, are the entry points for your less tech-savvy friends, and they need your help."

@eff When will you support #XMPP? #Signal might be exiting #Canada. #Quicksy and #Snikket do exactly what Signal does, but better.

Just (re)discovered #Quicksy. My Jabber ID is now listed. Thanks to @daniel #XMPP work!

Da hier ja periodisch FUD verbreitet wird bezüglich Messengern die tatsächlich digital unabhängig machen (nein nicht Signal) nochmal ein Link zu einem möglichen sehr einfachen Einstieg:

https://quicksy.im/

und noch ein Video wie das dann aussieht:

https://gultsch.video/w/q9APgknnxNUVKuAcrmaM7w

einfach mal selber ausprobieren.

@codewizard @rimu @Jerry @prav Better than #WhatsApp because we have users privacy as priority unlike them. Their business model depends on collecting personal data. Signal is better than WhatsApp, but it still controlled by a single organization. Prav is part of #XMPP network so people who don't like Prav have choice of using other apps like #Quicksy and still talk to all #Prav users.

@tuxicoman @prav it is very close to #quicksy in current state as we started from quicksy. It offers a choice to users - they can choose either Quicksy or #Prav without considering what their friends are using and users of either app can talk to users of the other app. We made small changes already like changing SMS provider so it works in countries like Nepal and Brazil where Quicksy SMS don't get delivered. We hope to offer custom username option and may eventually get other features.

@prav

I don't get the difference with #Quicksy it's not obvious

Thanks to @double_a_runi 's 'how hard can it be attitude' we have fixed a regression in @prav 's contact discovery when we updated our #android app, but did not update the server in sync (both are based on #quicksy).

So with this, we are set to exit beta and consider ourselves stable / Generally Available soon.
