Nothing. There is no secure messengers or services that regular people use. Sure I'm on both Telegram and Signal but "it's another app!" to people. Fine, SMS or nothing then and don't expect me to respond to anything but the most satin of vanilla text. Fuck off with your Facebook messengers!

I want to love Briar so much, but as long as it doesn't support backup or exporting user data you're stuck on your current device.

There is literally no way of migrating devices without manually sending new contact info to everyone, you WILL lose everything in your profile and if you lose your phone?

"For journalists who needs security" - Well, I guess you just have to contact your secret sources directly again.

Yes, Briar is currently being worked on. But not the export/migration/backup system, the original issue ticked is FIVE YEARS OLD! Because of that I'm actively warning everybody about this critical issue.

For what it's worth, Briar GTK has direct messaging working on linux desktops.

I'm not a fan of Matrix after reading this:

https://wiki.404.city/en/XMPP_vs_Matrix

If I make the time, my new year's resolution is to get a LinuxFromScratch box up and running. From a skim of the book, it seems a bit tedious tho.

That would be a good tld.

It's still very new, just over a week old now.

Looks like I got here just in time! Well done with spreading the word though, I came here throug a ZeroNet post.

No, not listed there.

Really? It's not as annoying as recaptcha or hcaptcha imo.

At least notabug and dread are still alive. And ramble, but i don't think it's the same as the others. It's not as bad as reddit though.

Nice, looks like it's worth a review.

That's awesome. Thanks so much. It's a wonder that Bote works on mobile but disappointing that it no longer works on the desktop.

I've replied to your message.

Matrix is worth a look for sure.

But definitely check out Briar. https://briarproject.org/

Android only..

Briar is a powerful messaging tool with a brilliant design that runs over Tor only. Development is slow but ongoing and active. Briar is totally metadata resistant.

Currently Briar lacks the ability to make calls, transfer files etc so it is not feature rich. But all these things are under development.

But for basic totally secure messaging Briar is the Champ. Contact sharing is by mutual agreement and does not use address books, phone numbers etc so Briar is totally anonymous and of course fully encrypted.

Do check it it.

No problem. I added an edit and I believe you responded before I finished typing out the rest of my reply.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I have the ability to exclude image uploads and the creation of new forums to only whitelisted members.

But everyone has that ability to create forums or upload pictures as of now since it's not been abused.

I could also have the wiki modifiable by either everyone, whitelisted members, or admin(s) (me). Right now only I can edit wiki pages.

Furthermore: Whitelisting will allow a user to bypass IP bans and some flood protections. Additionally, their IP addresses will no longer be stored. But if you're accessing the website via the Tor onion service, your IP shows the same as everyone else on the site accessing it via the Tor onion service. If you access the site via the LokiNet SNApp, it's basically the same. It's the same IP address shown for everyone using it. If you use the I2P site, it's the same IP regardless if it's me or you signed in. Because of that, those networks don't have flood limits now so it's like being whitelisted. Using Tor on the clearnet site will just be the IP of the exit-node obviously and the clearnet site by itself would be your identifiable IP unless behind a vpn. Those logs aren't kept anyway but I still encourage the use and support of any other network.

Tor, Yggdrasil, Loki and clearnet all play well together. The I2P service is off-server but could be on it, I suppose. But I just run a separate I2P router with the HTTP tunnel to the server that serves the clearnet, TOR, Loki and Yggdrasil sites.

Then it's just creating a config file for the webserver for each specific domain the site is accessible from and having it use the same document root.

I touched base on this briefly yesterday when answering a question about the warrant canary.

More people should do it. To push more content to any/all networks that they can in an effort to preserve privacy and to give big-tech the middle finger.

Out of curiosity, is the group/organization in question listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Organized_crime_groups_in_Brazil

dreads captcha has to be my least favourite. It’s creative but very very annoying.

Sorry, not sorry. LOL.

Today I Learned that error code 418 = "I'm a teapot" and error code 420 = "Enhance Your Calm"

Jesus. I kind of have to follow all the forums on this site (Plus I just browse All/new and I almost spit my drink out after I realized what I was looking at.

I tried it a few times and was disappointed. I was trying to create future addresses, export them and get the message later. Paste bin! Even under the best circumstances did not work for me. I use PyBitmessage, Retroshare, and other you did not hear about anyway (DaveMail).

Oh okay I guess that makes a bit more sense. I always thought a DDOS attack had to have a specific port or webpage as a target. But I don't know how one would be sent through the tor network and I dont even really know how they're sent through the regular internet other than it's just a bunch of requests from different locations.

I'll check it out, thanks.

The Matrix federated network offers E2E encryption and has plenty of pre made extensions/bots (open sourced) so you can link other networking services to Matrix.
