A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Have any of you android users setup an iMessage server such as BoueBubbles or AirMessage? Or some similar?

If so, how well does it work? Is only an apple account required? Do apple users send your email an iMessage? Also, was it easy to setup?

Thanks!!!

I've heard this argument before and it's bunk.

Signal made it very clear when a message was unencrypted. And if that was really an issue, make the indicator more clear/obvious.

How many users of Signal lacked the ability to know this, especially since any less-technical people were likely using Signal because someone like us got them to, so we would be explaining the difference, as getting people to use the encryption is our goal.

Also, how would Signal know this issue? Were they monitoring users?

It really sounds like a non-reason. It doesn't add up.
