As Signal get your phone number. Can we considerate this application as private ? What’s your thoughts about it ? I’m also using SimpleX, ElementX, Threema, but not much people using it…

Cheers

    You are worng. Unquestionably. But you are also unwilling to listen, so there is no need to keep explaining. Bitcoin should be the only argument I need for this since it is perfectly secure while not being private nor really anonymous (bitcoin is pseudonymous, not anonymous). In fact usernames do not add anonymity. They add… What do I call this… Pseudonymity? The difference is important. But you’d care

      I care because Signal is the kind of insecure app that gets people into trouble. I live in Turkey, with an authoritarian government. Security is a very importan topic for us, and Signal is just a sad joke.

        I’m donde with this conversation. I agree that signal is not for you . but it’s not because it’s insecure

        What you want is anonymity. Not security.

        You say that yet here you are. On a public forum. On a pseudonymous forum where a profile can eventually be built of you. They would beat you to get your Lemmy credentials, but since everything is public, they don’t need you
