i’ve just seen a comment in a post, in this very community, saying people trust signal because of missinformation (from what i could undertand).
if this is true, then i have a few questions:
-what menssaging app should i use for secure communications? i need an app that balances simplicity and security.
-how to explain it to my friends who use signal because i recomended?
-what this means for other apps in general?


i agree with everything you said about signal, but i’m uncomfortable with a lot of the alternatives. a cryptographer i follow has written about a couple of these: xmpp, matrix three or four times (linked in the introduction to the post), others
I saw a good response to the XMPP thing he wrote about I’ll get back to you Rizzler. The “encryption isn’t enabled by default” thing just isn’t true for the clients people actually use, for one.
Look at Delta chat.
