Greetings!
A friend of mine wants to be more secure and private in light of recent events in the USA.
They originally told me they were going to use telegram, in which I explained how Telegram is considered compromised, and Signal is far more secure to use.
But they want more detailed explanations then what I provided verbally. Please help me explain things better to them! ✨
I am going to forward this thread to them, so they can see all your responses! And if you can, please cite!
Thank you! ✨
As far as I know telegram requires a phone number too.
And the conversation was about “talking to strangers without giving them your number”, not without giving signal nor telegram your number.
There are far better privacy alternatives to both: matrix, xmpp, simplex all work well and don’t require phone numbers or US-based hosting.
You are right. But just not a fun person capable of seeing the humor in this.
Everyone is listing the features of both and not choosing wrong on purpose!
I like sending all my conversations to Russia. It makes me laugh.
As long as i have someone wasting their time trying to snap out of their sleepy deer in headlights stupor after listening to a coder talk about coding.
I also love doing this on facebook messenger too.
Everyone worries about censorship. One thing that is never censored is a coder talking about coding. Cuz the DEI hire head explodes after one second of listening to that.
Try it! It’s magical.
