@lukaso666 @dwmatiz I mostly liked #Ring, though I never got to try its audio or video features, until an upgrade on #Android forced me to reconnect to my contacts. Since both sides have to be active at the same time, I gave up after five months of re-requesting connections with family members every time I opened the application.
That's got to be one of the most dissatisfying experiences that users of a "personal communications" program can have.
@bthall You're one of a handful of people who could have the name of my municipality just by asking in non-public channels (e.g., #XMPP, 1:1 #Matrix room, #Wire, #Ring, et cetera ) after passing identity verification. . No need to triangulate or guess.

gledofEl software de mensajería #Ring alcanza su primera versión estable Es un programa para todo aquel interesado en la seguridad de sus comunicaciones, ya que Ring ofrece un método distribuido de las mismas –es P2P, sin un servidor central que las almacene– utilizando las tecnologías de #OpenDHT y #Ethereum #Blockchain y con cifrado de extremo a extremo provisto por diferentes protocolos (RSA, AES. DTLS, SRTP). Algo que viene establecido de forma predeterminada para evitar ser espiado. https://ring.cx/en/download/gnu-linux
@marxistvegan "Using" is too strong of a word. I am trying #Wire (along with #Ring and #Tox) for intra-family messaging. So far, one text and one video conversation on Wire, so no verdict yet.
@bobjonkman @bob One thing I am looking for in all this (and which #Ring, #Tox, and #Wire seem to be providing) is integrated audio/video chats. They ( #Daddy_A and his wife ) normally want to use Skype or Facetime (neither of which I have or use), and they have Apple devices, so no #WebRTC support either.
@forteller I've never seen Snapchat, so I do not know what it is like, but I'm currently trying out #Ring, #Tox, #Wire. Still too early to make any kind of statement, but I believe all are encrypted.
