"Your #privacy is our priority. With that message has #WhatsApp last week sent all its users a message" (translated from Dutch from an article in De Telegraaf, a large newspaper in the Netherlands)
There is too much gossip about WhatsApp according topman Will Cathcart.
"#Signal is very cool: the number of new subscriptions in the Netherlands is this year 25 times as high as before"
WhatsApp is closed source. Do you trust #Meta? Signal is #opensource.
@janvlug #Signal is better than #WhatsApp, but still centralized. The entire world depending on a Single organization is not very sustainable. We have Quicksy and Prav both giving the same convenience of Signal without lock-in. #Quicksy and #Prav users can talk to each other and to any other #XMPP app.
To actually practice the freedom to improve a software, we should be able to self host the server part (not necessarily each person has to self host, but that option can offer real choice).
@janvlug The same way, not every user will have to modify #FreeSoftware to benefit from right to modify.
Why should we accept the monopoly of a single organization to make changes on the server ? Especially those of us in the Free Software community who understand Free Software includes the right to modify.
When we can have both a simplified option for masses (#Quicksy and #Prav) AND choices for people who need (Monocles Chat, Snikket, Monal etc), then why give up on choices ? #xmpp
