group on Signal/LibreSignal
Pirate Praveen PublicSeen by 389We have a group on Signal/LibreSignal for diasp.in maintainers. It can be used for quick follow ups. We can use piratesin@conference.diasp.in as well. If you use Signal and want to join the group, message anyone of us already in Signal group. Any decisions will still be made in loomio.
Note: We are testing out Signal as it has encrypted group feature, in the long term, we should improve xmpp to match its features, for better federation. Signal does federate, but I think its still more tightly controlled which servers are added to federation (there are two servers currently, one by Open Whisper Systems and another by CyanogenMod and both federate - its hard-coded in the server.).
Another good feature of Signal is iOS client (well, some of our contacts use iOS/Windows).
ChatSecure iOS version will soon have OMEMO support after Signal updated license for their AxolotlKit library.
But as LibreSignal is unmaintained, I left the Signal group and will be uninstalling LibreSignal soon. We can use diasp.in@groups.poddery.com for real time communications.
This will be useful because ios seriously lacks a good xmpp client. Monal disconnects often and chatsecure ios version is not consistent either. That's where Zom will have a big role to play for ios.
Anyway ios users in our group will have more to share about this.
