» @signalapp Chefin kritisiert Karners Entwurf zu Messenger-Überwachung:
Die Regierung will Messenger-Dienste stärker überwachen. Wenn man im Datenschutz eine Tür öffnet, öffne man sie für alle, warnt @Mer__edith «

…und doch wollen mir Menschen immer wieder beibringen, dass die nichts zu verbergen haben. Eine Auswirkung von der Übernahme von deren mentalen Wahrnehmung und Privatsphäre, was ich als sehr übel empfinde.

all centralized messaging platforms are bad but if you have to chose, then

#telegram > #signal > #whatsapp

This may be a stupid question but why do I have to manually save media that I got via to the gallery? I can see it in the chat even if I'm not connected to the internet, so it's clearly already saved somewhere.

“Why is it that so many companies that rely on monetizing the data of their users seem to be extremely hot on AI? If you ask Signal president Meredith Whittaker (and I did), she’ll tell you it’s simply because “AI is a surveillance technology.””

Peut-être l'effet UserName introduit dans Signal il y a peu.

Tiens, tiens... Ça fait écho à mon pwet ci-dessus ⤴️

« Telegram a lancé une campagne assez intense pour dénigrer #Signal en le qualifiant d'insécurisé, avec l'aide d'Elon Musk. L'objectif semble être d'inciter les activistes à abandonner le système crypté Signal au profit de #Telegram, qui est en grande partie non crypté. »

I was wondering why right-wing propagandist and gadfly Cris Rufo was attacking Signal.

Thanks to Mike Masnick I now know, it was really a side channel attack on Katherine Maher and NPR.

So heads-up, as the right-wingnuts tend to listen to this joker who they're targeting now.

WhatsApp has blocked me "due to spam" which (needless to say) is nonsense or some glitch on their end.
I know people will find it annoying/pretentious if I fully switch over to #signal but can you blame me after losing my primary means of communication? This fucking sucks and if it doesn't get resolved is going to mess up the next few months like i lost a wallet.

This is just of the many tweets that are flooding Twitter these days praising Telegram and discouraging users from using Signal with stupid NSA and FBI conspiracy theories.

Under no scenario you should have Telegram installed on your phone. It's basically the Hulk Hogan of E2EE apps

C'est pourtant pas si compliqué de proposer un .sh avec ces lignes de commandes qu'on a juste à lancer...

De plus, ce passage n'est pas traduit, ce qui rend l'accessibilité aux non difficile !

bon matin masto : aurais-tu un article - en anglais si possible - qui explique en quoi il vaut mieux utiliser #Signal que #Whatsapp ? 🙏​

Abbandonare #Whatsapp è stato un ottimo inizio.

Adesso è il momento di lasciarsi alle spalle il cirillico #Telegram.

Da domani solo su #Matrix e #Signal.

Auch deswegen unterstützen die ua unauffällig @simplex finanziell und auch deswegen sehe ich dies kritisch. Ich verweise auf @briar und @cwtch obwohl es bei einigen unbekannt ist.

🧵 …zugegeben im Artikel oben zum Thema @signalapp, geht es auch darum, dass die digitale Kommunikation die Anonymität staatlich wieder entfernt werden will 🤷‍♂️

Meine aufgelisteten Lösungen @briar und @cwtch sind (noch) nicht populär und auch deswegen (noch) nicht staatlich verfolgt und bekämpft.

I don't get all the hype about and usernames.

  • they still grab phone numbers
  • they still are centralized silo, adamant on controlling your communication
  • they still are hysterical about possibility of third-party clients.

Still zero reasons to switch from .

lienrag,

@brie

Sure, but the question was never "switching from XMPP" : is an entry-level application for people interested by privacy but without technical knowledge.
I have yet to succeed in convincing anyone to use while I already convinced people in my circle of relations to use Signal.
And of the people I convinced to use only maybe one in ten remembers their password or care to check their inbox from time to time.

Friction is a great way to discourage people...
