Anyone knows what F-Droid will do? Will they switch over to a fork? Maybe the people who installed it via F-Droid don't have to switch at all. @fdroid

Here is what I found works pretty good

Android: Conversations
Linux: Dino
Apple: Monal
Windows: Gajim

It can easily be fixed by truncating the output if it repeats too often. Until the next exploit is found.

Which major corporation? Google and Microsoft don't seem to have one.

Using the current server distribution of my contacts, I would never loose more than 13% of my contacts if a single server shuts down. Federated systems are much more resilient against providers shutting down as well as takeovers. Think Reddit vs Lemmy, Twitter vs Mastodon, Signal vs XMPP.

Now everyone is using WhatsApp again and all energy that went towards convincing everyone to use Signal is lost. A better use of that energy would have been be to promote provider independent internet standards.

All your contacts will still be gone when their servers shut down.

This article may be bullshit, but people are still wasting their time on walled gardens like Signal. Organizations like Signal can easily disappear because they run out of money or, arguably worse, sellout because there is no other way to stay afloat. I wouldn't use any messenger not compatible with the XMPP internet standard at this point.

Can you prove that anyone except you exists?

You're reading this and you're not me, qed.
I actually just wanted OP to consider it. I know there cannot be definitive proof.
