funded by three-letter agencies

That for sure can feel iffy but if the code is sound and the keys are stored on client only, that does not have to mean they can snoop. Leveraging access might be a vector, though.
The agencies do need something that is a. really secure and b. present in global population, so it’s not a dead giveaway “that guy is a spy”

using your phone number

They haven’t dropped that yet?

I’m afraid that the crowd that cares about BigTech meddling in our world has already done all of those. It’s the other majority that we somehow need to convince

Personally, I’m done with preaching. I just use the better services when I can, so when the eyes open, I will be ready to be a guide

BTW, wasn’t Signal so-so? I don’t remember what the critique was but I remember making mental note that it’s also not a solution

Oh yeah, those were very good apps. Exactly how phone apps should be, clear UI, flexible settings with file import/export, etc. It seems it’s time to switch, though.

FWIW, I have been using Simple calendar and did not have issues with notifications. I just migrated to Fossify calendar and so far it seems to be sending notifications fine too.
In general notifications can be a pain on OS apps. I managed to pull a few of my friends to use Delta Chat with me. Half of them are not getting notified and it seems we have everything set up the same in the battery settings etc ¯\(ツ)/¯

Thank you all for your input, I have a clearer picture now

For me, no

What’s going on with sdf?

@framasoft@lemmy.world any chance to have you take a look? Is that how comments on comments on Peertube work or this is a problem between instances?

They’re trying to replicate npm attacks

You mean that the problem might be that peertube.wtf should have asked tilvids.com about all comments of comments?

Why does this post look like a scam?
