wire-server VS TextSecure

Use encrypted messaging apps. Several apps allow you to connect with others securely if you're using a smartphone. These include Signal and WhatsApp (both owned by Facebook), as well as Telegram and Wire (owned by Google). These services use end-to-end encryption, so they don't store any data on their servers or share it with anyone else.

For work each service it its own cabal project, and has src/ (the service) and test/ (in 3 styles)

Haha. I stated using reddit after finding it when wire.com. Back in the day the top 10 reddit posts would show on Wire. This was around 2006/07. I specifically remember there being a science. You made me think, maybe I'm losing my mind so I checked into it. Sure enough there is a timeline available. Here is a 2007 accolade for r/ science, " For most of the year, "science" and "programming" are the most popular subreddits. I like the info for year 2008, "This year is dominated by the launch of numerous new subreddits." I do appreciate how confident you were in your incorrect answer though. You are probably a Digg.com refugee.

Is there any way if I self-host element, I can make it completely private? like somehow to remove the explore room option? like the users can't join any public room kind of what rocket chat does. or even wire.com. is it possible ? i want to make it completely private for the company

Also, I use it for my work @ https://wire.com

The backend of Wire messenger, with the server code publicly available in the company’s repository and detailed documentation, also written in Haskell.

The Client is GPL-3.0 Licensed. (WebApp,Desktop,iOS,Android) The Server is AGPL-3.0 Licensed. Both Client and Server are Open-Source.

Moxie's reasons for disallowing Signal distribution via F-droid always rang a little flat to me ( https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/127 ). Lots of chatter about the supposedly superior security model of Google Play Store, and as a result fewer eyes independently building and testing the Signal code base. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but independent and reproducible builds seem like a net positive for everyone. Always struggled to understand releasing code as open source without taking advantage of the community's willingness to build and test. Looking at it in a new light after the XZ backdoor, and Jia Tan's interactions with other FOSS folk.

Signal has documentation on how to reproduce their Play Store builds and compare them with what you've installed locally:

There's nothing on Signal blog as of yet, but Signal's git repository was tagged with v7.0.0 yesterday and we can see from the commit history since the previously tagged version (v6.74.4) that there will be a setting to hide one's phone number [1], as well as disabling the previous default behavior of advertising that one is on Signal to all their contacts already using it [2].

Signal works the same but without the user tracking from Meta/Facebook. Many people use it as well but I'm surprised that a majority sticks to WhatsApp.

Telegram and Signal solve this.

Sadly yes: Looks like an open issue 13290 for Signal, sounds like they were/are indeed still interacting through google's push notification service, wat, and per a link at that issue it was a chore for Tutanota to break away once they realised it was a problem some years ago (though at least they thought about it years ago? wtf Signal...)

Here is one: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/tree/main/reprod...

Rule 1: Posts to r/signal must relate to Signal.
