@fennix #FunFact: Any decent #client already does #QuotePosts similar to how #Shitter did it and provide a preview of the 1st link appearing in the post.

• CWs will work the same as with sensitive media & CW'd posts.

So i.e. CW "USpol" will work fine...

@ckrypto if@signalapp@mastodon.world wasn't complying with #CloudAct, @Mer__edith would be in jail.

Not to mention even if Signal keeps their "#OpenSource" code updated - which is doubtful, NOONE can actually #verify that it's the code you actually use - regardless if #backend / #Server or #client / #App!

• #Signal is as secure as #ANØM, otherwise it would've been shutdown ages ago.

Also if Signal was designed for #security, it would've been #decentralized as #XMPP+#OMEMO and not demand #PII like #PhoneNumbers which oftentimes cannot be obtained anonymously in many juristictions at all!

• Only #MultiVendor & #MultiProvider standards can be secure, regardless if OMEMO or #PGP/MIME.

By comparison, @delta doesn't require any PII, only an #eMail account, and @monocles isn't a #VCmoneyBurningParty but sustainable due to #subscription and they don't even require any personal details for #payment: #CashByMail and #Monero are accepted.

• Not to mention neither #DeltaChat nor #monoclesChat are pandering #Shitcoin #Scams like #MobileCoin that don't work even for #TechLiterate #CryptoBros!

Again: It's Signal alone who have to evidence they are trustworthy, and all I get are "#TrustMeBro!" replies, which means they are not to be trusted.

• Not to mention, it's just not sustainable to run a #service without #revenue, even if it's run entirely by unpaid volunteers and gets all it's #hosting and #costs donated, someone has to pay for expenses due to #abuse of a service (which is an inevitability come mass adoption)...

Whereas with #XMPP I can completely setup my own server and client, even build my own if I don't trust anyone else and pay someone to audit the code.

• Signal as a #centralized, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider service is inevitable vulnerable to #RubberhoseCryptoanalysis, and #Meredith will break if not doing so means jail for life until she does!

Whereas with XMPP & PGP/MIME #eMail I can layer @torproject / #Tor over it, make it an #OnionService and keep that thing under my bed with a literal killswitch...

@Tutanota there's only.one worse #eMail #Client, and that is #MicrosoftOutlook who sends all #logins straight to #Microsoft in plaibtext (abeit transport is encrypted!)…

@viktor @nextcloud

Does the coming #nextcloud #client on #linux now runs as a native #systemd unit for a more userfriendly and 24x7 file synching when more users of a family are using the same linux dektop computer?

@Yuvalne consider #NextcloudTalk (included in @nextcloud / #Nextcloud as hosted by @monocles and @Stuxhost ) as well as #JitsiMeet (which is even easier to #SelfHost.

• If you only need 1:1 #Videocalling, consider #WebCall as a secure alternative.

All 3 use #WebRTC and don't require any shitty #Client #Installation whatsoever: They work from any modern #Browser like #Firefox!

@kura when you think #2b2t is too easy cuz you use #Wurst with #Baritone as #client...

@FibroJedi it's actually not a #client thing, but a #server thing.

• #glitchsoc is a #Mastodon - #Fork that includes all the nice features like #Markdown that @Gargron et. al. are unable or unwilling to include in #Vanilla Mastodon.

Which is a shame, but then again they refuse to acknowledge problems and instead stonewall users with their nonchalant #TechBro attitude...

• Sorry for the #venting, but I'd do everyone a disservice to not mention the #ElephantInTheRoom just because it may be off-putting to outsiders re "the #Fediverse" as a whole.

So far, GlitchSoc allows way #over9000 characters (AFAICT it's 11.000 on infosec.space & infosec.exchange), and AFAICT it does account for everything - so there's that.

• But then again Markdown is sleek and efficient as a format so it's not as if you'd be writing #HTML directly and needing all the <h6>blabla</h6> nonsense...

So yeah, I use the "Advanced UI" aka. "Deck" version of the #Web - Interface which is like #TweetDeck but for Mastodon/GlitchSoc and @Tusky / #Tusky on mobile but I do type that stuff like a markdown file by hand...
