»Signal connecting to Firebase despite using it on a de-Googled phone«

#signal #messenger

Right after the #Signal outage yesterday, I took a closer look at #deltachat.
While I knew that it uses e-mail protocols like SMTP and IMAP under the hood, I always thought you have to enter the credentials of your e-mail account simply because DeltaChat is using that account to transfer messages.

But to my surprise, you can just create a profile on a chatmail relay, even without providing a password at all. While I have no idea how this works, I assume that it generates a key pair on your local device. But how is this connected to my profile name? Is a profile name unique? When I uninstall the app is my profile lost?

@delta

Cryptic usernames of people I know on #Signal are breaking my brain.

Can I use the nickname/petname feature "guilt-free" to rename people as I know them IRL? (i.e. that I am not leaking anything sensitive?

EDIT: Seems they are E2EE so I'm going to use them https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007319011-Manage-Contacts-Nicknames-and-Notes#contacts_nickname

Signal have had some hiccups here in Italy.

#signal #signaldown

I am here once again asking you to switch to #decentralized solutions, the answer is never centralization

if you are going to leave #WhatsApp switch to #ArcaneChat, #DeltaChat, #XMPP, #Matrix, etc.
