Telegram, an essential communication tool for millions, finds itself under scrutiny once again. Copyright holders have long expressed concerns about the lack of enforcement on the platform, and recent actions suggest Telegram is responding. Subscribers to Z-Library’s popular channel recently noticed that several of the shadow library’s messages have been removed “due to copyright infringement.”
When will people start using Signal or Matrix for this? Signal supports public, encrypted chat rooms and so does Matrix.

you’re on a piracy community but you’re licensing your comments?
if you don’t respect other’s licences, why should they respect yours?
Not gonna lie… That little link is funny to me.
On the face of it, I appreciate that it looks funny, but the power dynamics are quite different. If I’m caught pirating, my ass could land in jail. If a company is caught pirating, it’s written off a business expense.
Would you find it as ridiculous if a slave whipped their owner? If the poor stole from the rich? If the weak took power from the powerful?

None of those examples have any relation to the ignorance of these licensing links.
What “ignorance”? The licensing link is added manually. I’ve read it.

What’s wrong with trying to prevent companies scrape your data? How is that antithetical to piracy?

Not if I think about it for longer than a second. Anti-AI licensing is aimed at corporations. Piracy is done for individuals getting a product.
Exactly this.

@onlinepersona I think I might start using Signal as well today.
Welcome, comrade.
I wouldn’t recommend Signal for privacy. It has quite a few concerning issues. There are some good alternatives however. I think Briar is good if privacy is your chief concern. Sam Bent compared some of the other alternatives in this video.
Matrix sucks, it always loses some chat messages when the client is closed and sometimes it says something like “hey dude something is wrong with your session, log out and use your security key to get access again and don’t lose everything”.
[Sincere] Would you like solutions to this or would you prefer not to use it?
Which client are you using and when was the last time you used it? I haven’t had those issues in about 3 years on Element.

Not who you replied to, but I’ve experienced it on both vanilla Element and on Schildichat over and over, as well as repeated logouts that require signin approval from one of my other active sessions.
That are on devices on different floors of the house, or even in different parts of the city.
Shit’s jankey as hell.
Very weird… I’ve had the same clients (Element) for years and haven’t been logged out once. Just out of curiosity, do you switch between the clients (Element on one computer, Schildichat on another)? That could be the problem.

I’ve been using a self hosted server for 5+ years now without any issue. I’m not in many huge rooms and mainly use it for 1:1 chats but its been solid for me.
