@UncleIroh @shortstories @charliebrownau >i'm pretty sure IRC isn't even a thing anymore. closest thing to that is hexchat.
Thanks I hate it (hexchat is an IRC client)

>haven't heard of delta chat
It's basically a souped-up mail client

>no-one uses XMMP except feds
Fuck you retard, join [email protected], let's make vidya great again

Avoid. The guy who wrote lokinet is on here, he was also main dev on session for a while, and he has nothing good to say about it.

Could someone ELI5 me how to get access to this? I have no clue, I'm on a Pinephone running Alpine Linux, so I'd need a terminal client of some kind. I was using gomuks for matrix for a awhile but it is buggy as shit.
@Zerglingman @UncleIroh @shortstories @charliebrownau

Do I need sign up on someone's server too? dcc tried to get me into terminal xmpp and I just didn't fucking get it.
@charlie_root @shortstories @charliebrownau @UncleIroh Yes. And some clients will ask you for a JID straight up without telling you what it is. It's just like fedi acct; username + server. I don't think finch does that though.
@shortstories @charliebrownau @UncleIroh @charlie_root *oh and you don't need to register on a webpage or whatever, you just set your username, password and server and connect and say "yes create account" and it does it.

Also try out SimpleX Chat, run a relay or something since you're already into privacy messaging.

I like it alot, though obviously not as much your dad loves fucking that rusty pole.

@UncleIroh @Zerglingman @shortstories @charliebrownau

I might try SimpleX, I need extra privacy so you don't know how much I come over and fuck your mom's brains out.

It's a neat idea, but it reeks of techbro influence; they seem to be barking up completely the wrong tree. They have completely unrealistic understandings of what the attack vectors actually are.
So I don't necessarily think it's bad, just that it's probably not all that private.

Like... Running your own server? The more I read of this the more is smells like normie-facing snake oil shit, which probably means honeypot.

I'm aware of who ToB's are. The audit looks good tbh. Literally nothing in that report that worries me.

I love that it's written in Haskell, and I like that it has a typescript sdk. i like that is has a dedicated terminal CLI too. and most of all i like that id's are as quick, disposable or permanent as you want them to be.

And here your are with a hardon for pidgin. GTFO and wait your turn on the rusty pole. Goblin's almost done.
