Many people on the #IETF wifi networks in Madrid are running into problems using @signalapp. My hypothesis is that the large number of users in a small number of IPv6 /64s is triggering some rate-limiting. Does #Signal have the ability to apply reputation and rate-limits on a /128 basis for specific /64s? (Clearly future IETFs should use /64-per-host as @abhayakara pointed out on the mailing list.)

#Mastodon doesn't have #e2ee #Matrix doesn't have #metadata privacy or #QuantumResistantEncryption and #Signal is centralised with single points of failure that can be corrupted subpoenad and seized by state actors. I daily drive #simplex simplex.chat bc it has e2ee, metadata privacy, quantum resistant encryption and also has the best anonymity and profile separation tools I've ever seen all while being #foss and #decentralised I know of no other messenger that can boast all this
