Many people forgot, many others now think that he is the villain of the story just because he did what he had to do to save his life, a whole lot don’t care because ‘they have nothing to hide’. For what it’s worth, people who actually care about their privacy is a very small minority in pretty much all countries.
If you were using Signal just for SMS, none of your messages were secure anyway since the SMS protocol itself is not–defeating the purpose of signal. And if you had already convinced people to install Signal by using SMS as a caveat, you can just continue contacting them through the app.
I was able to convince pretty much everyone who matter in my life to install Signal and they all love it because WhatsApp has become too cluttered and spammy.
Same! There is a lot of misinformed Signal bashing going on. I can’t figure out why.
This looks really good! Thanks for suggesting this.
Discord is not FOSS and is a privacy nightmare.
That’s great!
I really like Jitsi Meet and use it for any video conference calls. And Signal for one on one calls with friends and family.
I am also curious to know the reason. The downvoting seem to be only happening in programming.dev instance though. Things are still sane here in kbin.social.
In the absence of any explanation, I am just going to assume there are a lot of Google Docs fans in this community.
Privacy Guides is a great place for you to look at a highly curated list of reliable and privacy-focused alternatives https://www.privacyguides.org/en/tools/
And here is an another list that I have also found useful https://github.com/Lissy93/awesome-privacy
I have no idea. Both are solid services with sound privacy credentials and recommended by Privacy Guides (Cryptpad as a productivity tool and Skiff for its mail service). I use both regularly and have been able to completely replace Google Docs because of them. The only reason I can think of anyone down-voting my suggestion is that Skiff is not fully open source yet, but they are in the process of making it so.
I still use them for my TV and AC remotes, flashlights and wall clocks.
I never realised that many people don’t need to use it anymore.
Also check out Skiff and CryptPad if you are looking for Google Docs alternatives.
Hahaha well done OP!
This is one of those incidents that is infuriating for the parents when it happens, but will then end up being a story that they cherish and keep telling everyone they can for a long time.
Does anyone have info on what it does that main Meta apps already can’t?
Aww, I didn’t expect this story to end this wholesome!

Also I am happy that they chose fedia.io to open their instance and not kbin.social. kbin really need to spread out more.
But Telegram also have access to more info about its users, considering that messages are not end to end encrypted by default, than Signal does of its. This means that Telegram can share any data it wants, its users are just hoping that it won’t. In the case of Signal, they don’t have access to any meaningful data in the first place. Also leaving these here:

You are generalizing too much here. I know many who have tried out a product only after seeing its ad. Ads can give plenty of returns to brands. But targeted ads which even exploits our most intimate conversations are really bad news for our right to privacy.
