mastodon 4.7.3Private chats for the family 🥳
#ArcaneChat is a private and secure #decentralized #messenger focused on #privacy and friendly user experience. No phone numbers or any private data required!
ArcaneChat is a #Chatmail client and hence interoperable with #DeltaChat and other chatmail clients
#ArcaneChat's in-chat mini-apps have more potential than most people realize
This is incredible awesome: treasure chests in chats that can only be unlocked with the right key!
Basically with this content creators and channel owners can offer paid posts, sticker packs and other content to their subscribers
This was created by a channel owner for their particular needs in a few hours, and delivered to users across several platforms, no need to struggle with publishing to app stores
if you are looking for a messenger to use with the kids, take a look at #ArcaneChat
no SIM card needed, no phone number required for registration, easy setup, just set a name
kids can NOT be discovered by strangers
No public groups or channels, kids can NOT discover inappropriate content
just the family chat

GREAT NEWS!!! this year I will be adding possibility to create a group with owner/admin that will be the only one that will be able to modify the group name, avatar etc and add/remove people 🎉🎉🎉
this opens a whole new world of opportunities for community developments!✨
it might take a long time until the Delta Chat developers incorporate this feature (if they even agree to do it) so only ArcaneChat users will be able to be part of such groups
A friendly guide to red flags 🟥
if an app takes all your chats captive,
preventing you from accessing the chat list and forcing you to update,
without considering any life situation you might be right in that moment,
and even while you are offline you can't access any of your important conversations and notes to self...
🚨 maybe you are in the wrong place ❗
with #ArcaneChat your data is always with you, in your pocket 💜

This is misleading. The phone number in Signal is not used for message routing at all
it is not, any government can block Signal's servers and SMS codes for login in, in places like Iran while Signal is not working during shutdown, ArcaneChat and similar do
Your only rationale in the comic is that they are hosted on AWS.
the thing is, besides any technical matter, it is just plain bad to support Signal when millions of dollars donated go to Amazon and other big tech
New mini-app in the #ArcaneChat Shop ✨

Okay, finally a point I agree with.
you didn't reply to the post about Amazon knowing users' IPs and passively being able to map "who is talking to whom" even without Signal being aware of it
what is your opinion on that?
anyways, ultimately it depends on the thread model, and most of the time Signal is not worth the disadvantages or plainly fail to work/solve anyone's problems in practice ex. during censorship situations or autonomy / off-grid

new mini-game in the store! you can access it via the attachment menu in any chat using the "Apps" option
this is a port of https://github.com/adil192/ricochlime by porting it to webxdc now instead of solo-playing you can share your high-scores with friends in the chat! but even if you use it for solo-playing, now your high-scores get synchronized across your devices!

"Ja, ich würde mir auch einen Messenger wünschen, der quelloffen, dezentral, weit verbreitet, sicher und kostenfrei ist – und trotzdem von Oma, Opa und dem Arbeitskollegen problemlos genutzt werden kann. Aber den gibt es nicht."
Alter, das ist buchstäblich die Definition von Delta Chat. 😂😂😂
Wer behauptet denn, Signal sei so einfach zu bedienen? Wenn Oma und Opa Signal selbst einrichten können, dann schaffen sie auch alles andere. Das Ding verlangt nämlich jede Menge Daten
PRO TIP for the projects and startups out there:
don't invest too much time and money in fancy roadmaps bigger than a RPG skills thread of a future that might never come

Given that you're spreading misleading FUD about Signal
what part is FUD???
How do you ensure that a passive adversary who can see all messages going to and from a server in the network
for a start, there is no single adversary that can observe the whole network, and switching from one relay to another and using several at the same time is easy, without losing your chats & data!
how does signal, a central observer with access to all users' IP addresses is any better?
