@adbenitez @opensourceopenmind #DeltaChat is federated via email, so #metadata-wise it is #verbose, I think (as #matrix is also verbose, maybe even more).

That's one of the advantages of #signal, that it is quite quiet on #metadata.

Darf ich vorstellen: codeberg.org/weirdfox/mfs

Ein Tool, mit dem man Metadaten herunterladen kann. Gerade nur Publikationen über DOI von Crossref / DataCite / OpenAlex, wird aber in alle möglichen Richtungen erweitert. Nutze es um Rust zu lernen, ist aber ernst gemeint :)

Momentan eine sehr Alpha-Version verfügbar, von jeglicher produktiven Nutzung ist stark abzuraten.

Ich freue mich über Tipps, Ideen, Kritik!

Über neue Releases wird hier ebenfalls berichtet.
