@maiyannah @awl I'm almost offended that social.freedombone.net isn't on there. -

@u2764 that's ok if the admins are open about that, so that users aren't confused if they try to follow accounts on other servers or don't get replies from certain users. -

@moonman @deadsuperhero I agree with that. Signal has problems but isn't the worst offender. I've never actually used Telegram, but the reports are that it has fake crypto and a closed centralized server. Someone said it only has transport encryption by default and so most messages exist in plaintext on the Telegram server and can be read by whoever. -

At this point there has been so much ranting about the numerous problems of Signal that I feel I have nothing more to add. -

Quitter.se is the oldest node in operation that I'm aware of, since Feb 2010
Rainbowdash.net - Apr 2011
quitter.no - Sep 2014 (though it was up a little earlier and had to fix things)
Umea Hackerspace - Jul 2013 (similar story to quitter.no)
LoadAverage - Jul 2013
Shitposter.club - Feb 2016
HLA - also Feb 2016
So when you say the fediverse won't last ... you're already pretty wrong. Imagine how silly this doom and gloom predictions must sound to some of the people on these instances. -

PGP DAY: (1/?)
1. What is #PGPDay?
In April 4, 2016 the world experienced an unprecedented event: Through mere peer pressure and boredom, as many as twelve under-20 youths and a handful of older adults willingly and without coercion, successfully installed and used #PGP to communicate. It is believed that this is the largest number of people to correctly install and use PGP in a 24 hour period in the history of the world, and defied claims that it is too hard or not cool.
In 2017 on the first weekend of April that @moonman is not overwhelmed with work, we honor this day and hope to repeat its success. https://shitposter.club/attachment/572169 -

OTR/OMemo over GS/Mastodon is not so great because the typical user interface is web, which is delivered from a central party that can deliver you busted or malicious E2E code. unless you use a third party client you can trust for other reasons. -

@kitredgrave @rushyo closed source is inherently untrustworthy.
Code you cannot independently audit is code you can't trust
Also definitely don't roll your own crypto. There are existing libraries/tools out there which have had a lot of review. -
