@shortwavesurfer In my experience normal users never touch the defaults. My friends all use OMEMO when messaging me, especially since the OpenPGP option would require you to generate a public and private key yada yada...

@ArbiterXero Exactly, if you use any other provider other than the normal Signal server, you're separate from the rest. You have no other choice to agree on all policy decisions (e.g. requirement for a phone number on registration) or loose all your contacts there. This is separate concern from privacy, but to protect against enshittification and the like, interoperability and compliance with internet standards is absolutely crucial. Let's not promote the usage walled garden apps.

@shortwavesurfer What do you mean by 'you have to roll your own encryption'? The switcher for encryption looks like this, the default is set to OMEMO which is the XMPP implementation of the Signal encryption protocol.

@shortwavesurfer @MarcRnt Sadly, Signal is just another walled garden. We need to make XMPP apps more popular.

@typfelhyaene Naja von morden wollen möchte ich Mal nicht sprechen. Zumindest nicht selbst (nennt man es "Grenzverteidigung" ist's wahrscheinlich wieder ok).

@Nonameuser678 @saltynuts420 This. Every time someone is whining about "free speech" it's just that other people don't tolerate their racist comments or conspiracy theory. In the best case.
