minus-squarefxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·edit-223 days ago The protocol doesn’t really matter when you send encrypted messages over it like Delta Chat Maybe. My comment was based off of what i understood from the website Signal is not private Could you elaborate on this? haven’t heard of this point (is it due to the jurisdiction on a 5 eyes country?) SimpleX doesn’t have encrypted group chats last time I tried It actually does now. It’s a very solid choice i’d say :)
minus-squareamzd@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·edit-222 days agoYou need a phone number to sign up which requires identification in most countries. Also anyone who knows your username can ping where you are at any time: https://gist.github.com/hackermondev/45a3cdfa52246f1d1201c1e8cdef6117
minus-squarefxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·22 days agoInteresting, thanks. I think SimpleX fixes a lot of signal’s issues, but the only problem i have that it is funded by VC and quite new.
minus-squareUlrich@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·22 days agoThey are open source and decentralized and indeed there are already a few forks.
minus-squarefxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·22 days agoYup that’s why it seems great :) though i haven’t heard of forks. I think i’ll wait a little more till i switch to it, just to see if it gets itself in hot water. It’s too early to tell
minus-squareamzd@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·22 days agoAh so they are just capturing users currently and will have to make return on investment later? That’s a no from me.
minus-squarefxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·22 days agoYeah it’s a shame, though i’m going to wait before switching to it to see if it gets itself into any hot water.
