🇬🇧Consumer-hostile #Whatsapp messenger will soon be interoperable - we #Pirates ensured this via the #DMA. In the coming months, we will be able to switch to better and open messenger services such as Matrix and continue to communicate with our consenting Whatsapp contacts securely and end-to-end encrypted across platforms using the Signal protocol. Wired reports: https://www.wired.com/story/whatsapp-interoperability-messaging/
Facebook Messenger will also become interoperable, possibly iMessage too. Anonymous use of the participating alternative messenger services remains possible, and Whatsapp only receives data on messages sent across platforms.
Even if Threema and Signal want to stay on the sidelines at first, I am confident that more and more messenger services will join in over time, because interoperability is the future and brings real competition and real freedom of choice!
ℹ️ This is just a reminder to let you know that todon.nl and todon.eu are not and will not communicate with :threads: #Threads. As overwhelmingly decided by our community (https://todon.nl/@admin/110696985478933637).
See https://fedipact.online for other servers/instances who also declared not to federate with Threads.
FAQ:
Q: Now I can't reach my friends on Threads. 😢
A: In short: Tell them to join Mastodon (or another ActivityPub non-big-tech compatible social media website). TLDR; #Meta (formerly #Facebook) and also the owner of Threads, #Instagram and #WhatsApp, is a big tech multinational that steals their data and fuck with their privacy. Therefore the community of your Mastodon server decided that they don't want Meta to steal their data and fuck with their privacy as well. If it are anti-capitalist friends, you can also tell them that capitalists shouldn't own your online (just as your offline) social life. They probably say that they already know this, but that the network effect keeps them over there. Better not push it from there any further. Some people are more sensitive for neoliberalism than others. 🤷🏻 Or you can move to mastodon.social. 🤔
i tried #anydo this weekend and it's pretty good! 😊
#todotxt tasks can be imported via clipboard, it includes a #pomodoro timer (as shown in the video), new tasks can be added with #whatsapp (so they can be added with #androidAuto too) and their #web version is pretty nice. approved! 👍
En efecto, no siempre es fácil mantener separados los contextos sociales, pero todas las apps de #DeltaChat ofrecen soporte probado para múltiples cuentas. ¡Tan solo crea otra!
¿Cansado de recibir correos de notificaciones y tener que acceder a una interfaz web extraña con muchos anuncios? Crea otra cuenta en Delta Chat para el spam/notificaciones y recíbelo todo en una práctica aplicación de chat.
Esto puede que sea uno de mis mejores aportes. #Shelter es una aplicación para Android que permite crear una instancia aislada (perfiles de trabajo), para mantener aplicaciones y datos personales y profesionales de manera independiente en el mismo dispositivo, pero ejecutándose en simultáneo.
Puedo destacar algunos puntos fuertes:
1. Mantiene aplicaciones y datos personales como profesionales en instancias aisladas
No suelo compartir enlaces de Twitter por aquí, pero creo que la ocasión lo requiere.
Los que me conocen saben que mi amor por #WhatsApp es más bien escaso, pero con cosas como esta no hacen más que darme más razones para que intente usarlo lo menos posible. Me parece una vergüenza (y dejadez descomunal) que una empresa de este calibre se digne tan poco en dedicar el más mínimo esfuerzo en hacer mínimamente bien las cosas. Y ya van demasiadas.
There are a lot of worries that it will overtake and pollute the fediverse (incl. Mastodon). There is even a lobby started that wants to coordinate to block Meta en masse. Others say that it's a great opportunity for Mastodon and the fediverse to have more users, content and publicity.
What about todon.eu and todon.nl I hear you ask. I like to poll the todon.* community about what to do with Meta when we have more facts, so when we can make an informed decision.
