What don’t they block? But that’s not unique either. I could not put the word Signal into my WhatsApp status before deleting the app.
Free Speech Absolutist 🤣
He meant “free speech abolitionist”, easy typo to make.
Those billionaires need to look out for eachother.
I say it again and again, and I cant wrap my head around how nobody would agree or straight up kill for this belief.
But why… Why wont people think of the SHAREHOLDERS!!! ;((((
Devastating…
It’ll be easier on them to do so if they were all placed in the same room
🤦♂️
He only cares about free speech when he can control what and whom it is flooded to. If you disagree with him, it will get automatically prioritized for the trash heap and chances are his critics will have worked it out of their system to bother complaining somewhere else, giving him a two for one.

I know things are defcon level insane,but reading that, the as is way they phrase and apply the terms, by someone with that specific set of skills, makes things sound (they are) so much more malicious.
Welcome to America 2.0 : death to america, hello network state.
That’s quite a strong endorsement for Signal.
I agree
Damn I should use signal
Absolutely
Isn’t Signal still centralised? Why use it over Matrix? (genuine question)
Because its a more user friendly experience. Your grandma can use it with no hustle. Matrix is more complicated UX and also much slower and buggier (at least if you use Element and matrix.org). Ive actually started to prefer Delta Chat over Matrix.
Matrix leaks a ton of metadata and for normal users the clients are still very much in the sucking phase. Signal being centralized changes nothing about its security when the freaking servers can’t see anything about the messages. It literally is the most secure way to communicate out there, period.
Thanks; is leaking metadata just a consequence of the decentralized nature or is it something specific to how Matrix was made? Maybe I’ll try out Signal (I’ve been looking for some alternatives) but I don’t like how they’re based in America/5 Eyes, even if they are encrypted.
But yeah, that’s the thing, it doesn’t matter where it is based when there can’t be any information gleamed from it.
In terms of message security, but they could shut down the servers and disrupt the service for a while.
There’s some people trying to run messaging services over TOR, no idea if much is gained from it
It is, but Signal and Matrix aren’t really all that similar. Matrix’s privacy is pretty atrocious. It stores tons of meta data about users all over the place. That’s the exact opposite of what Signal does.
yup. signal devs/servers have NO access at all to anything about the conversations.
Signal is person to person messaging with groups on the side (ala WhatsApp)
Matrix is groups with person to person on the side (ala Discord)
Ooh thanks that makes more sense
It’s more private and secure, and it’s easier to use/recommend.
Matrix stores all metadata, and most all of it makes it’s way to the matrix.org (default instance) server and is subject to dragnet subpoenas. It’s also complicated to use, incredibly slow, and resource-intensive.
You use Simplex over Signal for improved privacy and no identifiers, not Matrix.
Signal is still very good though.
I think SimpleX is the currently the best chat app, with potential to be much more.
Didn’t the MAGA insurrection use Signal to coordinate their efforts?
Wait wait…yes, follow dear leader to an app that keeps your history and doesn’t encrypt at rest. You have nothing to hide and nothing to fear.
No, they used Telegram because they’re idiots and don’t understand privacy.
Free speech absolution guy who promotrd Signal not that long ago, only likes free speech (and most likely only signal) for me but not for thee
I think I remember him endorsing signal years ago which gave it at big boost at the time
Free speech!
Hey, that’s only for billionaires.
Absolutist… ish
Man… I’m getting tired of this guy.
…only just now?
