as if you needed more reasons to switch to Signal
why people don’t use matrix is beyond me
open stuff scares people. plus with messengers, we’re kind of bound to what our friends use. I’ve been slowly converting friends to Signal, and but people are very reluctant to change when the thing they have already works. Can’t imagine how much friction I would hit with something like matrix.
How slow friends are blows my mind. Like a cool new app they is secure and private?! Who wouldn’t jump on that?! I tell everyone" I don’t do SMS. Signal is the only way to get a hold of me. If you have a more secure app I’ll look into it. "
You’re telling me the messaging serving with a roll-your-own encryption that hasn’t been audited and doesn’t enable end-to-end-encryption by default, instead requiring you to initiate 1-to-1 “secret chats” isn’t secure or trustworthy?? Holy balls!
Proton up people. And get your people on Signal or WIRE.
We’re probably the most boring people day to day and we’ve dove it for a while on general principle. Now, it feels important to have already made that shift.
also XMPP and Matrix/Element.
Also your choices should be impacted by your threat model. Not everyone needs to lock up like they’re James Bond.

What are those
I have two friends on Signal!
No one else believes me. Gonna be a weird future
I managed to get my entire family onto this service and even some friends. That said, they are almost all also using at least WhatsApp, because they are only using Signal to stay in touch with me (since I’m not on WhatsApp).
I can’t believe it! 😱
/s
I am shocked I tell you! Shocked!
Well, not that shocked.
Here we go again. Once more, folks don’t fucking listen when they’re warned. And the ones who should have listened just got branched again.
I read that all the popular chat services provide similar information to law enforcement agencies. I don’t think telegram is special in this regard.
I’m generally given to trust Malwarebytes regarding cybersecurity, but they don’t mention at all that E2E encryption is not the default messaging style on Telegram. That, plus the article being from 2021, makes me distrustful of that source.
Signal is still the only service I am aware of that does not store logs of user messages on servers. Messages only exist on the devices of individual users.
If it’s stored on their servers then it isn’t private
A perfect example of why SimpleX is a great choice for messaging
Isn’t simplex also funded by venture capitalists like Jack Dorsey? I don’t think I’d trust then not to sell out users when it comes time to pay back the investors.
Dorsey, Zuck, Bill Gates. All the venture capital interests already got they teeth in Simplex Chat.
i would love an analysis of their federation because it seems built to make that impossible.
Herpes simplex?
Well this was always coming!
