Users that focus on #privacy and want to benefit from #unifiedpush currently need to download an app (#foss ). That's right. Similar case like for most #vpn provider client software.
The #unifiedpush app they have chosen is not only to gain #sovereignty and #privacy regarding this particular app which provides notifications (e.g. #keychat hopefully in near future). It is the foundation for any other app relying on #pushnotifications on their system that supports #unifiedpush .
Some users have their #unifiedpush app of choice already installed and benefit from the #networkeffect and #synergy . Others have to take their first steps👣to gain more #sovereignty and #privacy.
It's the natural🌱way to gain more traction on this topics.
What do you referencing by "existing solutions" apart from Firebase Cloud Messaging #fcm and Apple Push Notification Service #apn ?
⚠️Which both are not preserving users #metadata
#GOS #grapheneos users would love❤️an implementation🔧of the #unifiedpush feature too🔒
It should also be mentioned that by using #unifiedpush users have got the choice to #selfhost their own push notifications #server and do not have to rely on any other third party service.
#docker images support this approach for users already.
We all need more #privacy and #freedom🌐⛓️
