minus-squarerottingleaf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 days agoUse Signal or XMPP+OMEMO or anything else. Mandate social media to expose an open API and use the chat function with an OTR plugin. The solutions are all old. It’s just interesting how it all went from promotion of corporate surveillance to comms protection when supposed corporate shills won the election.
minus-squareasudox@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 days agoIt would be great if XMPP were to rise again.
minus-squarejagged_circle@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 days agoLol no. I like being able to send messages to someone who isn’t online at the same time
minus-squareoldfart@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 days agoAre you suggesting xmpp can’t do that? XD
minus-squarejagged_circle@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 days agoYes. Asynchronous communication is dependent on both users servers software and config. And that’s exactly why XMPP is disused.
minus-squareoldfart@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 days agoI’m sure there’s an option you can disable in server software to disable message storage. Why stop at this? XMPP can’t federate because there’s an option for disabling that too! 😧
minus-squarejagged_circle@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-25 days agoIts the other way around. Asynchronous communication was a feature added later in some software. By default it didn’t have it I’m saying it’d a deal breaker if all users dont have asynchronous communication.
minus-squareoldfart@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoYou’re technically correct but that was two decades ago. Novadays virtually every featured server passes the Conversations compliance test which continuously checks if all modern features are enabled.
