@dangoodin Every other desktop messaging app for #Windows would do well to add this, as #Signal has. And if they don't, they compromise the privacy of all those people who took pains to *not* use Windows (who use said messaging apps, and are contacts with these Windows users). Every alternative operating system - #Linux, #MacOS, #iPadOS, #iOS, etc - where you can run these non-Recall-protected messaging apps... they all get dragged into the privacy quagmire which Windows #Recall creates.
Another idea is for these Messaging apps to discontinue Windows support, thereby cutting off the infected, gangrenous limb, with respect to privacy. For example, #Gajim, the #XMPP client for linux, was recently stating they would release a Windows client for 2.2.0. How about just don't, and call it a day, citing Recall being too "radioactive" to privacy to get anywhere near?
I'm curious: Can web browser tabs make a DRM-insisting Recall-blockage, like Signal does? I use WhatsApp Web. How can WhatsApp Web - in a browser tab - do what Signal does here?
Gajim 2.2.0 has been released

@delta / #deltaChat is not using #XMPP+#OMEMO (unlike #monoclesChat & #gajim) but #PGP/MIME on regular #eMail,...wait, why not just email people and use PGP, then?
@debby @monocles @Stuxhost well, @delta / #deltaChat is not using #XMPP+#OMEMO (unlike #monoclesChat & #gajim) but #PGP/MIME on regular #eMail, which makes it way easier to setup in organizations as "nit yet another server needed" and also easier to comply with mandatory #archival laws in #business use-cases.
#Session & #Signal, like #Telegram & #WhatsApp, do not have their #backend opensourced nor allow #SelfHosting and demand #PII like #PhoneNumbers for registration if not useage for no valid reason. Plus they are not just able but obviously willing to snitch on their users (something neither DeltaChat nor monocles chat demand or even can as both do 100% #SelfCustody of all the keys!)
As for #sustainability, monocles is financed by #subscribers (they charge like €2 p.m. for mail & chat) and they can be paid completely anonymously (#Monero & #CashByMail!), whereas #Signal is a #MoneyBurningParty which engages in #Shitcoin-#Scams (see #MobileCoin!) for no valid reason…
With #Dino_im v0.5 arriving in Debian stable (backports) it's now my primary #XMPP client. I will use #Gajim only for special tasks like room maintenance or service discovery.
Dino is (from user perspective) pretty simple, some features are still missing, but as a basic client for daily text/image communication it's really sufficient.

This is an expecially good time to be around #XMPP
#profanity and #poezio were recently updated, while #gajim (and soon #converse.js) got a new major release. These are all #XMPP clients, if you're not familiar with those names: first 2 are console-based, while gajim is a desktop client and converse.js is a web client.
Even #Movim (web client) will have another big release soon, supporting #audio #video #calls and #screensharing.. Want to give it a go?
@tk My #prosody 0.12.5 server also can't do reactions in chatrooms - #XMPP clients are #Conversations and #Gajim. There is a claim that Prosody supports XEP-0421 here:
https://prosody.im/doc/xeplist
...ever since 0.12, but it's not enabled/installed by default, as stock-installed on #Debian 12 (from the backport for 0.12.5).
Note: XEP-0421 is absent from this page:
