Comment on Switching to more privacy friendly alternatives
LWD@lemm.ee 11 months agoWhy are you listing lack of an identifier as a positive, when complaining you couldn’t move between two platforms that use the same identifier? It’s much harder to convert people to a system where the functionality and features are scatter shot.
And I prefer a product that exists to a high minded notion of what could exist. Like I said earlier, how often should I check in to see when 2016’s end-to-end encryption is formally adopted? Or even when it enters Draft status?

You can check how often you want, it's not going to affect anyone. Please don't check more than 5 times a second maybe.

I’ll check biennially. And if I remember and still am using this account, I’ll tag you to celebrate a decade without an encryption standard, which is the future I predict

You care a lot about standardization of OMEMO, yet you don't apply the same to Signal which contributes exactly nothing to any standards body.

I care about privacy. OMEMO is just the closest thing XMPP has to it, and it’s still stagnant

Great. I'll check if Signal is compatible with any internet standards too. I'll tag you to celebrate a decade without interoperability.

This is the Privacy community, not the virtue community. If you genuinely cared about implementation above all else, then Matrix runs circles around XMPP in terms of solid implementation of end-to-end encryption, so I’m not sure what your point is other than defending a piece of software that is pretty much dead in the water.
