@signalapp Signal IMO has bad security because when someone decides they are not interested in an overpriced, underperforming service of "phone number" and stops using their SIM, they cannot deregister the number from Signal and the new owner of the number either can hijack their Signal account, or people may be blocked from using newly purchased SIMs with Signal.

Also, authoritarian regimes IMO can temporarily transfer a number into a provider's internal SIM in order to hijack a Signal account and impersonate a dissident against another dissident, facilitating abduction, torture and murder.

I feel

c o n t e m p t

towards Signal when it is designed this way.

Ah ben découverte d'un problème d'UI dans @signalapp

Quand on met en sourdine une conversation, l’icône sourdine est après le titre de la conversation. Si le titre est trop long, il est tronqué et l'icône sourdine ne s'affiche pas.

Mieux : mettre l’icône sourdine avant le titre. Ou bien tronquer le titre, mais en laissant visible l’icône sourdine en fin de ligne.

While platforms like #Matrix or #Signal manage user identities on a server, #DeltaChat and #Chatmail are not platforms in the classic sense. They operate without a central registry, meaning there is no central gatekeeper to grant or deny access. This setup for private messaging naturally complicates invasive age verification. Without a public registry or user discovery, there is no technical hook to verify users. #Chatmail also enforces E2EE by rejecting all unencrypted data. ... (1/3)

@nathanael @signalapp @delta @arcanechat in general, it is recommended to onboard to #deltachat with a little groups of friends or family, using the default infrastructure first.

this will result in far better ux, things will be easier by having less moving parts.

later, one can 🤿 dive into running own relays or alternative apps; the forum is a good place for that.

pretty sure, most people also do not start using #signal by the question, how one can get it into mutt (tho some surely do :)

Now that Discord is demanding ID, my kids are finally interested in alternative services. What’s a good one for audio and video calling that is secure and is not in the US? I have Signal but found out it’s US. I have Delta Chat but not sure if it has audio and video chat. What’s the scoop with Matrix? #discord #chat #deltachat #signal #matrix

@Edent #Signal is my daily driver messaging app, and I genuinely did not know this existed.

So, uh.... No.
