Cleaning / correction of the comparison table
First question at https://berty.tech/faq . That some boxes are empty seems ok as long as anyone can complete the table via a PR (even if some boxes are obvious like the purchase/runtime fee from Telegram or the privacy respecting terms of Weechat). But for reasons of credibility, we must at least ensure that there is no obvious misinformation. For the same reasons we should correct typos / wrong naming and add sources that confound the veracity of a checkbox.
Global:
-
end-to-end encryption->End-to-End Encryption -
Skuttlebut->Scuttlebutt -
Skred->Skred (Twinme)orTwinme (Skred) -
Facebook->Facebook Messenger(or at leastFacebook M.if there are size constraints) - Anonymous use possible -> What does that mean? Shouldn't we decline into
Email required,Credit card required, etc...? - We should have a tooltip that displays a description and links on each feature / checkbox.
Signal:
- No purchase fee == Partially -> ?
- No phone number required == True -> I don't think so.
Threema:
- Open Spec == False -> They have a whitepaper so it should at least be
Partially.
Olvid: (changes reverted by error, adding them to the checklist as a reminder)
- No phone number required == False -> Wrong it's true.
Matrix:

Hello, may I ask why this issue was closed? Skuttlebutt IS the wrong name so it should be corrected/removed. Another issue regarding the comparison is mixing together protocols (matrix, scuttlebutt, etc...) with messaging apps. I think this will confuse users, especially the less technical ones.
One last note (maybe this should have it's own issue): at the time of this comment, the comparison table is broken and every entry is repeated twice.
Ok, sorry everyone, I made a mistake, the issue is actually open. The rest of my previous comment still stands, but I had to correct this one thing. Sorry!
Hi! Commenting on Scuttlebutt, I lead the Manyverse project which is built on Scuttlebutt and is a messaging app, it ticks all the boxes except "Multi-device messaging". :)
