They fear open source software because it is one of the only thing that threatens their technofascist hegemony.
This only further proves that we are investing in platforms that are chipping away at them.
Now if more is Americans would listen and move this platform.
most likely a spam detection issue.
I wish europe banned anhy of the american social media, my applications would finally have a chance. But europeans won’t do that because they are huge pussies when it comes to americans. Unlike the chinese who created a whole internet universe for themselves, and they don’t even bother translating it to english anymore
Isn’t Signal still centralised? Why use it over Matrix? (genuine question)
It is, but Signal and Matrix aren’t really all that similar. Matrix’s privacy is pretty atrocious. It stores tons of meta data about users all over the place. That’s the exact opposite of what Signal does.
yup. signal devs/servers have NO access at all to anything about the conversations.
Matrix leaks a ton of metadata and for normal users the clients are still very much in the sucking phase. Signal being centralized changes nothing about its security when the freaking servers can’t see anything about the messages. It literally is the most secure way to communicate out there, period.
Thanks; is leaking metadata just a consequence of the decentralized nature or is it something specific to how Matrix was made? Maybe I’ll try out Signal (I’ve been looking for some alternatives) but I don’t like how they’re based in America/5 Eyes, even if they are encrypted.
Signal literally couldn’t give away your communications if they wanted to, everyone who disagrees with the way things are going should be using it.
But yeah, that’s the thing, it doesn’t matter where it is based when there can’t be any information gleamed from it.
In terms of message security, but they could shut down the servers and disrupt the service for a while.
There’s some people trying to run messaging services over TOR, no idea if much is gained from it
Signal is person to person messaging with groups on the side (ala WhatsApp)
Matrix is groups with person to person on the side (ala Discord)
Ooh thanks that makes more sense
You use Simplex over Signal for improved privacy and no identifiers, not Matrix.
Signal is still very good though.
I think SimpleX is the currently the best chat app, with potential to be much more.
Because its a more user friendly experience. Your grandma can use it with no hustle. Matrix is more complicated UX and also much slower and buggier (at least if you use Element and matrix.org). Ive actually started to prefer Delta Chat over Matrix.
It’s more private and secure, and it’s easier to use/recommend.
Matrix stores all metadata, and most all of it makes it’s way to the matrix.org (default instance) server and is subject to dragnet subpoenas. It’s also complicated to use, incredibly slow, and resource-intensive.
It is a matter time before they try to get it banned.
The first step would probably be to try and revoke their tax exempt non profit status. But I’m confident the Signal Foundation would at that point just move to another jurisdiction. Maybe Canada, Switzerland or something like that.
Ahem excuse me you must mean the 51st state, or Switzerland, or something like that
Canada going to be 52nd state–after Greendland 😆😆 (just kidding)
Would Mexico and Panama be the 53rd and 54th then?
Free Speech Absolutist 🤣
He meant “free speech abolitionist”, easy typo to make.
That sounds more like free advertisement for Signal
“Our product is banned on twitter!”
an American permutation of the CCP’s WeChat app model where the American government has final and singular authority to monitor and surveil all payments, domestic travel and communications of American citizens.

I know things are defcon level insane,but reading that, the as is way they phrase and apply the terms, by someone with that specific set of skills, makes things sound (they are) so much more malicious.
Welcome to America 2.0 : death to america, hello network state.
Man… I’m getting tired of this guy.
…only just now?
Those billionaires need to look out for eachother.
I would like them to be imprisoned on a island. It would be a Battle Royal that I can get behind.
It’ll be easier on them to do so if they were all placed in the same room
I say it again and again, and I cant wrap my head around how nobody would agree or straight up kill for this belief.
But why… Why wont people think of the SHAREHOLDERS!!! ;((((
Devastating…

He says he wants free speech, but all he ever wanted was to replace the previous censorship and propaganda regime with his own.
I think I remember him endorsing signal years ago which gave it at big boost at the time
