XMPP is decentralized but XMPP has never been federated. I'm a fan of OMEMO but it's decentralized.
Anybody looking for privacy from a federated service will never find it. It seems SimpleX is implementing more decentralized capabilties and it has superior privacy over anything else.
While Signal is the gold standard, it is not at all the best app or service for privacy.
Can anyone name a federated service that has built-in encrypted messaging enabled for privacy?
I view the repeated reply of "start your own server" as a cop out to not address what is fundimentally broken about a service, plus it doesn't acknowedge that starting a new instance requires taking on a daily obligation of attending and checking that the service is running and immediately addressing in as short time as possible.
Look at the rules of a instance that focuses on a particular topic or industry, they still have rules for public postings or acceptable speech.
Since Mastodon has the capabilty to ban IP addresses and for one instance to ban another instance from communicating with it, that's using a deny-all rule due to specfic individuals, so everybody on the internet who uses one server do not exist online for people on another server.
One of the main or even first rules for a lot of Mastodon is nobody is allowed say anything bad about tansgender or homosexuality an will result in account delete or ban, that much censorship is a cult.
Not allowed to criticize vaccines. I'm not talking about messaging individual users, simply a public posting criticizing trans ideology or injections, banned.
If someone reads the rules across a long list of Mastodon instances, a picture becomes clear about conformity to acceptable speech. Functional healthy adults are mature enough to ignore it or they themself choose to ban a user from messaging them, not an admin who had no part in a conversation. If one person creates multiple account and targets individuals, then yes the admin gets involed.
To prove my point, do a search for a Mastodon instance that allows obnoxious or unpleasant statements, that is still allowed to communicate with more populated instances.
You lying to yourself or have unfounded expectations. Everything on Mastodon is in plain text, there is no encryption, and servers get mirrored. It's only the login info that stays with the instance, and they all say that each instance server keeps logs for a year.
It has never been any priacy at all. The entire point of why Mastodon was ever started was censor evertbody that has the wrong opinion. Twitter wouldn't delete people because of what they believe, so Mastodon was developed to ban IP address so only approved speech could exist on the internet as far as they are concerned and can avoid ackniwledging the real world. A high number of people on there, especially the admins, live in cult
Why does the nVidia work well on FreeBSD but not Linux? Are you fully confident that the problem is only nVidia if the driver works fine on FreeBSD?
I'm planning to watch it and ask a question.
I think my dislike comes from the hype about Matrix being federated so people think it's safe, the fact that a company owns the matrix protocol, seeing the various apos that have non-free dependencies, when I looked before it seemed alk personal Matrix history is permanent, it seemed to be a combination of not the freedom people think it is and no clear sense of what the purpose of matrix is for, but don't now that I had an account previously to validate all of that.
If you want, we could talk on matrix but we both post our ID's here publicly to make sure it matches who we message on there?
I'm registered with FluffyChat, it seems fine.

Thank you for the correction. For Matrix encrypted messaging, does it depend on app/'program, or is it dependant on the instance?
