       Always a good day to switch. My recommendation is to use both for a while, alternating, until you get comfortable with the decentralized system. Non corporate media is needed.#x #mastodon #instagram #pixelfed #whatsapp #facebook #friendica #youtube #peertube #tiktok #loops

       @anolandria Why not WhatsApp -> #XMPP ?

       @Charlotte Aten Matrix is also a good solution, and has fuller encryption than XMPP.Signal is centralized. It may be good now — so was Telegram, once. That may not last.

       @ferret I have a bad impression of Matrix, both in terms of culture and pedigree (that Amdocs company sounds sketchy). There are people who say it's lacking technically, but I can't speak to this myself.

       @Charlotte Aten It's an open standard. You don't need to engage with the Matrix Foundation. My server is Continuwuity, which is run by a team of incredibly queer volunteers.

       @ferret Idk, the standard could intentionally configure your communications in a way that is more easily monitored via some other pathway the attacker controls. There's also the issue of people relying on reference implementations that may have some less subtle designed flaw.

       @Charlotte Aten That's the value of open source. People have noticed security issues in the protocol, and they've been patched.

       @ferret I guess I just can't bring myself to trust my communications to a system that was made by people who were investigated for spying on the US for Israel. I hope that I'm just being paranoid, but it can't hurt to be careful these days.

       @caten @ferret @anolandriaJust because we're paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not after us 🙂I'm personally not paranoid about Matrix, but still prefer #Jabber. Partially because the former is more or less dominated by a single vendor. Also, because #XMPP is more lightweight. Anyway, whatever is free and federated, is fine with me.

       @ferret are we sure that it's an open standard?I was under the impression that Matrix was an "open protocol" for decentralised, secure communications "that provided a set of open APIs" for decentralised communication.Unlike #XMPP which is an actual open #IETF  standard with multiple implementations in the form of clients, servers, server components, and code libraries.@debacle @caten

       @gnemmi @ferret @debacle @caten yup, Matrix is an open standard, despite not being from IETF. Just as XSF is a SDO, so is The Matrix.org Foundation: you can read the open standards process at https://spec.matrix.org/proposals/ and see the wide range of MSCs from many different independent implementors and developers.  Gentle reminder that the enemy is centralised surveillance capitalism, not other open source projects… :/

       @matrix let's get this clear and right out of the way: I personally never saw an enemy on you. My whole point was dead simple: IETF or not. And that was it. No ulterior motives nor hidden agenda on my part. And I absolutely agree with you in that the enemy is centralized surveillance capitalism, not other open source projects.Feel free to carefully review all my toots and confirm that I never opposed Matrix being listed as an alternative. @ferret @debacle @caten
