I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

    signal runs on amazon servers. Anything that can’t self host and isn’t federate isn’t worth it. Matrix (and element) fill this requirement. But IMHO, the best is XMPP where you can self-host or use federated servers located in other countries.

    Why would you prefer XMPP? Last time I checked most features (like E2EE) weren’t part of the base protocol.

    Delta chat is basically email.

    It supports mail, but also has an encrypted normal chat backend AFAIK

    Why? Because it’s torrents?

    Yes, it’s not really a good alternative since it’s illegal. I’m not judging but it’s not a good option for most people.

    Aurora is just a front-end for google playstore. You should add f-droid

    Droid-ify is F-droid
