It is very important to mention that you mean end-to-end encryption. The data is stored encrypted when using cloud chat. Nothing (besides phone number what I know) is stored in plain text on Telegram’s servers.

I am not defending Telegram. I am just stating facts.

Negative votes incoming in 3… 2… 1…

Anywhere in Europe so GDPR can be fully used and so Apple will not have the same power over their users as they have today.

1. They have their own closed eco system
2. They think money is key and throw large amounts at their consumers
3. All source code is closed
4. They are based in USA
5. They love AI

Like what another person said, hate is a strong word. But when it comes to Big Tech, I’m all for the word.

Might have missed adding something to the list. Will add more if I have.

So? 🙂 That does dosen’t mean that they have a bad product. Personally, I don’t like their love for very round corners everywhere. But I use posteo.de because of 1 thing: Tuta do not support IMAP/SMTP

Yes. You have to use DAVx5.

Fossify Calendar and Fossify Contacts on Android and Thunderbird in Linux.

I can highly recommend Baïkal.

Why isn’t posteo.de in the list? They are like Tuta, but with some more features like IMAP/SMTP.

Ah, yeah, of course :/ Will stick to my own XMPP server then.

Wait, what?! You can self-host Signal? Please send me a guide!

Vaultwarden, linkding, Snikket, Miniflux, and some more.

• Your IP address should always be private even if it is good with IP bans. But IP bans do not fix the issue if it is not a static IP address that the users always has.
• Exactly :)
• Yepp! But they do log it anyway. So the question is why do the log this data? To build a better service? Might be, yes, but it would be much better if they let their users to choose if they want to share this information. Not log it automatically behind their backs (many do not read privacy policies).
• I understand that, but they should not force users to enter their phone number. They should instead come up with another solution like require more CAPTCHA’s. Phone numbers is “the best” solution, but should not be standard.

XMPP with OMEMO.

• Nope. Not everywhere.
• The actual data is stored in plain text. The hard drive is encrypted. This is called encryption at-rest which Discord uses. Even Google uses this for Google Drive. Hackers “can’t” access the data, but the people working there can. It doesn’t matter if they have fancy roles, your personal data can be access by the people at the company. Your personal data should always stay personal.
• No cookies. Stored on their servers.
• I was forced to enter my phone number before I got as privacy aware as I am today. I doubt that has changed.

Why not Mumble and IRC or XMPP?

• Your IP address will be logged as soon as you login.
• They store everything you send in plain text on an encrypted storage unit.
• They store if your microphone and/or camera is on or off + more of what settings you have made in your own device.
• They force you to give them your phone number in order to identify you.

Discord is a privacy nightmare, but not as much as for an example Spotify. Spotify even logs how you hold your device and how fast you move it! Source: https://www.spotify.com/uk/legal/privacy-policy/

What accepting cookies popup? I don’t get such thing in Privacy Browser1.

Very nice :) Me like! But the bug is still there when you have clicked on a trail on the home page. The page just scrolls up to the top and you have to update the page to see the trail.

I tried Wanderer few days ago and I did find it very nice, yet quite buggy.

I was forced to update the page a second time before being able to do something, for an example using the menu.

But other than that, I find Wanderer very nice! Just miss seeing mainly how fast I was travelled in km/h. The statistics and details provided in workout-tracker1 is absolutely amazing! If you add such details into your project, that would be awesome!

Hehe, I know. Just trying to be funny due to boredom :)
