And here I was waiting for simultaneous phone and tablet sync as well as notifications for Signal. Nope, I can only use one device at a time. I noped out and went with Telegram. Priorities.
Look for Matrix/Element, it's the Lemmy to Signal/Discord/Teams/Slack's Reddit. π
I'd compare it to Mastodon more. Like Mastodon, it has an actual competent non-profit behind it and is very transparent and open up community engagement with a ton of clients. Lemmy developers are... just doing their own thing I guess. Lemmy needs a rewrite tbh, it's still a mess.
Maybe. I just assumed people on Lemmy would be familiar with Lemmy when I'm not sure they'd be familiar with Mastodon. But, yeah, maybe they are.
Matrix supports e2e chats with other users, even over federation.
I know signal claims they have little/no metadata, but is that a protocol guarantee or are we just trusting them that they arenβt logging anything? I personally have no trust in signal given they are against federation and custom clients.
I'll check it out, thanks. :)
Not even that... They don't even have desktop registration in the official client, which is just outrageous.
Wow.
