    Signal also conveniently forgot all of my previous messages in the most recent update.

    But hey if I log in and register my phone number they might be able to get it back.

    Fuck signal

    Threema for me

      FYI: Signal stores all of your messages on your device. If something happens to them there, they’re gone. In not saying that justifies an update nuking your messages. Just explaining for anyone who it’s not understand that There’s no central database storing your data long term. Which is a feature.

        Use a messenger that doesn’t require to to log in to view data stored on your phone. I’m sure the data is there, I’m just not allowed to see it.

          sorry, I don’t understand what you mean.

              i have simplex, element, briar and even rattlegram.

              with messengers “a different experience” is interesting (for me) but if the people i’m communicating with are not sharing those “experiences”, what good do they bring? Am i going to chat with myself?

              Getting people to use Signal instead of WhatsApp was a challenge already. Now almost all my contacts are on Signal.

              How am i going to get people to use any of these apps considering that Signal has no shortfalls (like belonging to Facebook and spying on you)?
