I was pretty disappointed when I learned one of my contacts on Matrix was receiving my messages on his Gmail. That's a feature I would rather the client to not even have so people don't accidentally enable it. I hope it won't take too long for a more privacy-oriented client than Riot to appear. The best thing right now is MiniVector, which is a stripped down Riot fork with fewer permissions required: https://github.com/LiMium/mini-vector-android https://github.com/LiMium/mini-vector-android
- ugqtq 7y agoYou were pretty disappointed when you learnt that recipients of your messages can do whatever they want with them? And your solution is to remove the feature altogether? How about removing the ability to copy text? Or the ability to take screenshots?
- meruru 7y agoI was disappointed the program wasn't designed to nudge users towards more privacy-conserving behavior.
- antpls 7y agoI think the point of the parent is that removing forward to email would only give you a false sense of privacy, as there are several other ways to record received messages.
- masterfooo 7y agoThe issue with that app is that there is no voice chat :(
- meruru 7y agoI don't use voice chat, so to me that's a good thing, but if you need that feature the full Riot client is probably the better option.
- stevenicr 7y agoInteresting concern - I'm thinking I'd like the various clients to alert me back - as a message sender that the messages were being auto forwarded to a non secure place like gmail - of course I think the option to turn off notifications should be possible on both ends.
- meruru 7y agoThat's a good idea. The important thing I think is to create a culture of privacy-preservation around the whole Matrix ecosystem so that features like that make it to the various clients.
