Back after a five-day Internet blockade in Uganda. Currently, most social media sites are still being restricted, but it's nice that my preferred - the #fediverse #mastodon and #signal are unaffected!

#Signal isn’t just AWS. It also has a hard dependency on Google’s push notification system (FCM) if you don’t want your battery to catch fire.
Signal’s attitude towards #UnifiedPush and #FDroid speaks volumes.
And my #SignalProxy is updated, up and running again.
If you need a #Signal proxy, drop me a PM with some kind of proof that you are a living, breathing and empathic human being.
@daniel #Signal is bridge technology. Today, you cannot tell non-techie people to choose from a #XMPP provider on their own, because they would have struggle to do so.
I suggest we continue delivering basic IT knowledge to those who are interested and ask things. All the others are doomed in any case.
I installed #Signal and #Conversations_im on a clean install of #GrapheneOS on my Pixel 4a and measured the battery impact. The results are shocking!
Both messengers had only one contact: my regular phone.
I used my regular phone to send messages to the Pixel 4a (which was not used for anything else over the course of the experiment).
I always sent the same message via Signal and #XMPP (mixing up which app went first). In total I sent ~32 messages in intervals of 10mins to a few hours.

@daniel As mentioned by Moritz @preya, #signal/ @signalapp shows no progress, interest or even involvement in getting this long standing issue fixed (https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/9729).
The community helped themselves and created an alternative Signal client, which is #molly (https://molly.im/) @mollyim
Molly uses #UnifiedPush and @S1m created a couple of battery saving apps, that handle notifying the molly-app to wake up and fetch the message.
So, use Molly instead. It could be cut off at anytime if signal decides to do so, until then it is a viable solution.

Wenn wir das mit der digitalen Unabhängigkeit ernst meinen ist #Signal einfach nur eine Ablenkung.
#Quicksy hingegen ist ein wirklicher Schritt in die richtige Richtung. Quicksy ist so konzipiert, dass man darüber hinaus wächst und ein nahtloser Übergang zu #Conversations_im möglich ist.
Quicksy ist die Einstiegsdroge für wirklich unabhängiges Instant Messaging mit #XMPP.

If you are organizing folks in Minneapolis right now, you may find this guide to Signal for beginners by @mshelton useful: https://freedom.press/digisec/blog/signal-beginners/
Signal is centralised and was attempted backdoored by the uks online safety bill and saved by signal threatening to walk. Simplex is open source and quantum resistant e2ee like signal and also has its secret group chats and metadata protection like Signal but SimpleX is also decentralised with ip protection, tor support, no persistent id basically "a burner phone for every contact"
Signals centralisation also makes it more vulnerable to total censorship, all you need to do is block signals domains, being a decentralised network SimplexChat has no single point of failure to censor and anyone can run their own relay node

Jour 14 : Signal
Signal est une application de messagerie instantanée, entièrement chiffrée de bout en bout ! Vos conversations privées restent confidentielles, et c'est quand même la moindre des choses 🔏

Goodmorning lovely Fedi people
