@mister_monster I'm loving Session so far. I messaged the creator on Session about this cryptocurrency blockchain thing going around. Ill see what he says and get back to you.

I also got him to fix up the site a little since I saw some privacy concerns.

@mister_monster Blockchain? Not familiar with that honestly, but it doesn't require a phone number, email, or even a password. Just like Threema, it gives you a ID that can be used to add people. They say it runs through the tor network. Also decentralized.

Signal has many red flags in my opinion that I have no idea why people trust.

Centralized.

Requires phone number.

Based in USA.

Thats 3 things at LEAST.

I added a link to my Mastodon profile to add me on Session since I like it.

@Qwant Threema or Session is much better.

Fines won't do anything to Google. They make that money back by continuing their actions.

Me likey this. The website needs some privacy work such as no CloudFlare or connection to other servers.

But this is great. Signal without the phone number or centralized server.

@masquerade Same, I know how you feel.

@iceage Welcome!

I will no longer be using anything that requires a phone number. (Such as Signal or Telegram)

The virtual phone number I used for years from TextNow was magically taken away from me.

There goes any account with that number on it, and TextNow makes it impossible to signup or even login using a VPN or staying anonymous.

Just like if someones company uses Google, I will refuse to use it.

@jonah I've asked about it in the past, but nobody really seemed to know much about it either.

Cant wait.

(Stingle Photos on F-Droid)

Anyone know a good free number place yet?

TextNow:

Way to strict.
Doesn't like you being anonymous or not using Google.
Will block your device if they simply don't approve of you.
Not even their web version is easy to login to when hidden.

Google Voice:

Requires Google Account (Which means, requires phone number/personal info)

@croqaz I know how you feel. Ive gotten very pissed off at Google Captchas.

@AQ4M40_8X_3K I told him to make it open source a while back. Maybe he took the tip.

@mister_monster Delta Chat is cool and all, but I don't see the point of end to end encryption if the messages still show in the email inbox?

@mister_monster Try out mailo.com

Works great and works with Delta Chat like butter.

glitcher32 @ mailto .com

@mister_monster The mail.com check email thing on the create account page says "A technical error has occurred".

Im guessing creating an anonymous account is impossible.

@mister_monster What is a good email to use with it? (Surely not Gmail)

Also I found something called MapBox in the app, which could be a tracker.

Stingle Photos (Google Photos alternative) is now open source.
