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! ✨

    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.
