Did you search for the file off of your vpn?

Nah I rolled my own and didn't publish it so that's probably why haha.

Have you been using this one?

On my app I don't get rich notifications only "you may have a new message". Havent looked into it at all though, only set this up like last week

Lol there is a setting in molly itself for rich notifs

Huh I didn't know this existed. Will compare it to mine later

I got an initial verification code and haven't heard from signal since. Signal doesn't support totp or SMS 2fa. But has a pin code set along with your password. A new device that is added doesn't have access to old messages unless you have the correct seed key iirc

Sure but it allows VOIP numbers. I'm using a jmp.chat number with it just fine.

Yep, I run my own mollysocket + ntfy server.

Essentially, molly socket functions as another device, when it recieves a notif, it pings your specified unified push server, which then queues up a notification for the ntfy app on your device.

You don't need to run your own unified push server, and can just use one of the main ones, but I figured I might as well.

I personally have them hosted on fly.io for free via the legacy hobby plan.

Now all I need to do is get more of my friends to message me on it 🤣

Hoping that accrescent starts seeing some more activity

Tangentally related, FUTO put a bad taste in my mouth when they were harassing the graphene os team https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/113443396794247106

Would it not be better to ask questions in more general communities, and fragment out to smaller communities when we reach a more critical mass of users?

Asking qurstions in smaller communities rarely fetch an answer

You can also set up MollySockets for notifications via unified push!

How does rmk compare with qmk?

I agree with your points. I'd much rather a decentralized solution would pop up that would be easy to onboard "normies".

As outlined in this mastodon thread, you can see a few pain points mentioned, a solution offered, but then there's a glitch in fluffy chat that doesn't allow for uName/PW sign up.

Decentralized alternatives are great in theory, but in order to gain the critical mass of users needed for a successful migration, there needs to be a happy middle that results in better/easier UX. Mastodon is much more fleshed out than matrix in this regard IMO as you don't need to deal with key mgmt, yet you still see users migrating to a less mature platform, Bluesky.

Dessalines also has a good write up on a few of the other alternatives here. https://dessalines.github.io/essays/why_not_signal.html#abandonment-of-open-source

Matrix, however, also exposes metadata that can be used to link who is talking to who

GNUNet seems promising

I wanted reddits IPO to bust soooo bad

The only instance of being hostile to a 3rd party developer was when they used their name (a trademark) open signal I think it was?

MollyIm has been alive and well for years. Are there other instances I'm missing?

Other than that, yes signal is definitely better than WhatsApp with the amount of data they collect.

Does deleting old accounts really do much? Once you do something online, you should assume it's there even if you delete it.

Best you can do is adopt a more privacy conscious way to go about things and just let your old footprint go stale

Depends on the bank. Graphene has support for seedvault backups, or you could use syncthing-fork to sync the data over. Or any one of those Foss airdrop clones

I mean the FOSS community does exist

I'm also unable to pay for accubattery as I don't have play store installed

Finally. Some apps lock dark mode behind a paywall. Should be illegal

I'm looking at you, accubattery.

Onprem has always been cheaper. Cloud compute was the most successful marketing campaign I can think of.

When did they claim to be an expert??
