maybe finally reached the breaking point in moving as many remaining groups and convos from Threema to Signal:

I have to swap out my phone due to a failing display, and while Signal imports its 6GB data backup without a hitch, Threema just … dies at 3GB, probably due to lack of memory. Which is just … astounding. And bad. And I'll have to delete some data, which, wtf.

@rixx I had similar recently, and it's astonishing how bad #Threema still is at this

@eff #Signal is not secure!

It supports #surveillance

2
#SignalApp is #Trump friendly

It collects your #Metadata like #WhatsApp

What WhatsApp and Signal reveal, despite encryption

Signal is famous for good end-to-end encryption, WhatsApp is following suit. At DEFCON, two Austrians show what the messengers reveal nonetheless.

Signal no longer cooperating with Ukraine on Russian cyberthreats, official says

The encrypted messaging app Signal has stopped responding to requests from Ukrainian law enforcement regarding Russian cyberthreats, a Ukrainian official claimed, warning that the shift is aiding Moscow’s intelligence efforts.

The new #Threema desktop beta for #macOS looks really solid. It finally feels like a proper native app and no longer resembles a browser window.

Still, I wonder when the beta phase will finally end. It has been running for quite some time now.

Es sieht so aus, als wuerden weltweit die Webservices wieder langsam erreichbar sein.

Was ich an der gesamten Nummer aber extrem verstoerend finde ist, dass #Signal bei #Amazon hostet!

Du kannst nicht sagen: Ey EU... Wenn die Chatkontrolle kommt, dann sind wir weg und dann gibst du dich mit deinem Oekosystem dem US-Cloud Act hin.

Auch ein Grund staerker auf #Threema zu setzen!

@pallenberg

Auch #Threema bleibt ein zentralisierter Dienst und damit ein Single Point of Failure. Nachhaltig sicher sind nur dezentrale Kommunikationslösungen.
