@mariubrlu @ray "to stop terror " or "save kids" take your pick

@johndoee @ray so no hidden agenda you mean? Or was that sarcastic?

[–] johndoee@mastodon.social 2 points 2 years ago

@mariubrlu @ray not of both

UK is a sinking ship anyway

We're better off with Matrix anyway.

Element and the Matrix team might move out of the UK if the legislation is passed

@zakiuem @ParanoidFactoid wow. I figured that’d be the case, but it just goes to show how catastrophic this legislation is

It's expected, but I'd be sorry for them. To move the company and the people would require big expenses.

Not really. Signal is a walled garden but Matrix has a lot of a privacy issues.

[–] kixik@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Better distributed mechanisms, such as Jami and Briar. I have hope on wider adoption of Jami...

No one ever talks about delta chat but it makes email in a ui like instant messaging. Its encrypted and if wanted you could host your own email server. There is no way anyone is going to shut down email and the emails with delta chat are encrypted client side and delta chat can never be shutdown or messages can't ever be read.
