Torching facebook is the only book burning I approve of. They're all fascists and need to be stopped or we're all fucked.

Yet another reason to get your family you only communicate to via facebook to download signal.

No messenger is safe if it requires personal info to sign up, like a phone number.

IIRC Signal was adding support for usernames instead of phone #'s

Usernames are already there, you still need a phone number to signup.

This is the kind of purist thinking that will put people off and lead to less people switching.

Signal is Open Source, probably one of the most vetted E2EE there is. And it holds up. Compared to Facebook Messenger it’s a miracle.

And crucially it works similarly.

Telegram has never open sourced its server side code which makes it completely different from a fully FOSS thing like signal.

Well for one signal is backed by the EFF. That gives more confidence to me then telegram ever had. It seems weird that you'd just shoot down anything here and yet back email. How does that technology help at all? You could add your own gpg encryption to a text too if you wanted to. Your comment just seems unhelpful and prevents any positive change, so it's a shit post.

Emails are abysmal by any privacy or security standard.

Anyone have the most recent database?

Xaphanos@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 219d

I sure hope that someone is backing it up daily.

Keep licking that boot zucky. Maybe the next million will fill the hole in your soul.
