Could you provide the instance url?

My bad... It wasn't supposed to sound that aggressive.

And to be honest: there is no confirmation for a free tier but I strongly believe (and hope) so because most people nowadays assume everything to be free and if they see Signal not having a free backup plan everyone would go

aAhHhHHHhH they are so greedy i thought they are a non-profit.

(I mean people who don't care about privacy and only use signal because their privay-aware friends told them to)

First of all: there will definitely be a free tier. The only thing not final is storage and media backup.

Second: local backup will most likely still be an option.

Why do people always hate on new features? Just don't use them if you don't want to

Then just use the free tier

No i think you misunderstood. Local backups (as we have them now) will (most likely) stay.

I'm gonna be honest. I chose a random article by JWZ and read it. The only thing they are talking about is the contact discovery system. If they don't want contacts to be uploaded (encrypted) then simply don't give signal the permission. And that the author moves to facebook messenger because there

at least the privacy failings are obvious

just shows how the author isn't even interested in secure and private messaging but only in defamig signal

Yes you are right but the website links github commits as sources

I've been using Matrix for a few days now and I have to say that encryption is a mess. Rooms and Spaces are not encrypted. 1:1 chats are encrypted but before it worked for my account (whysoever) I had to verify the other person. Also fluffychat is really buggy

[–] mintdaniel42@futurology.today 2 points 9 months ago

Yes it seems like Thunder for some reason does it that way

[–] mintdaniel42@futurology.today 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm sorry. You are right. Does it work now?

[–] mintdaniel42@futurology.today 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think in your (and most other) case(s) the free tier would be just fine
