This has been another colossal fuck up by Meta, again. And another leak that goes unpunished, again.

Downloading Delta chat or Signal is not enough. Think beyond the headline.

Regardless of where you are, you need to hold these people accountable.

===================

📷⁩ ⁨Signal Polls Are Here

Are you and your friends on the same page, or are you poll-ar opposites?

Polls are an easy way to see what your group chat really thinks. Create a poll with competing dinner options, vacation destinations, musical preferences for an upcoming road trip, or any other important choices.

Everyone in the group can vote and see each other's responses, and you can decide whether or not to allow multiple votes.⁩

#signal now has polls.

Où on apprend que les négociateurs européens au G7 utilisent #WhatsApp comme machine à café virtuelle pour discuter en "off". Donc #Meta, donc les #USA savent qui discute avec qui et quand en "off". L'illetrisme numérique de nos politiques est affligeant. Comme quoi convaincre son entourage de passer sur des solutions comme #signal est très important...

EU-Signalgruppe: Zu sensibel für Freigabe, nicht sensibel genug für Archivierung

Dass EU-Außenminister und -ministerinnen einen Gruppenchat auf Signal nutzen, war bekannt. Worüber sie aber schreiben, dazu sind die Reaktionen widersprüchlich.

☁️The recent AWS outage showed how fragile “cloud-based security” can be.

When one datacenter faltered, global communication tools — including Signal — went dark 🌑

🕸️Matrix-based messaging systems kept running because they don’t rely on a single provider.

Resilience = decentralization

Let's invest in open, federated platforms.

@prunelier @ploum j'avais ça en stock : https://www.jeey.net/whatsapp.html
Ça commence à dater un peu, mais ça peut aider peut-être ?

#Signal #WhatsApp

Demande aux mastogeeks

Je boycotte #WhatsApp pour des raisons éthiques.
Je ne l'ai plus sur mon téléphone, et veux supprimer l'appli en janvier.

Certains proches sont allé sur #signal, pas tous. C'est dommage mais j'assume d'être moins en lien.

Cela dit, je me suis promis de leur écrire quelque chose de vraiment bien argumenté pour expliquer mon choix.

Est-ce que certains d'entre vous ont fait l'exercice ? Aujourd'hui ma source n°1 est @ploum

I think that we've seen a good deal of news lately about satellite traffic and how there is a good deal of it that is unencrypted

https://www.pcmag.com/news/leak-from-the-sky-it-turns-out-a-lot-of-satellite-data-is-unencrypted

And then there was news of Scott Tilley in British Columbia, Canada who discovered that there were some satellites in a classified network that were sending data in the wrong direction

https://www.npr.org/2025/10/17/nx-s1-5575254/spacex-starshield-starlink-signal

He has some incredible documentation on what he captured, and how he captured it using fairly common equipment that most geeky-type-folks would have lying around our labs.

https://zenodo.org/records/17373141

I was able to replicate his setup and started capturing data just to see what I could find. I have to say that I was taken aback from the sort of thing that I was able to grab - again - completely unencrypted.

Made a Signal group for people who self-host Fediverse servers. Send me a private message here (so I know who you are) if you would like to join.

@Mer__edith @signalapp It's probably also a good idea to make switching to new phones easier. Approx. 90% of people I see on #Signal don't use the preferred method to transfer their account to a new phone. Resulting in changed security number messages. Something that is confusing for people, therefore mostly ignored and resulting in real threats being ignored.

Which level of hell is this #Signal @Mer__edith 🤣

💡Did you know...

...you can quickly edit messages in Signal by double-tapping on a sent message? ✏️

...and in Signal Desktop by pressing the up arrow on your keyboard? ⌨️
