WhatsApp is please, please trust me bro

Telegram is "I was taken hostage by Macron, but I didn't agree to collaborate, he just randomly let me go". And it syncs between multiple devices, saving in the cloud. Signal is, as you say, "trust me bro". Content likely secure, metadata... depends how much we want to trust. Simplex, now, simplex where its at. I have all three, for different levels of security

Literally inverted, how do you even get the confidence to assert this as fact?

Telegram is Russia's honeypot in the same way that WhatsApp is the US's honeypot. View quoted note →

Fedegram is "just trust is bro", Signal is Slightly less "just trust us bro". White Noise, Bitchat, and NOSTR are the only "don't trust, verify" privacy chats.

Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot

Many people who focus on information security, including myself, have long considered Telegram suspicious and untrustworthy. Now, based on findings...

@matthew_d_green: Telegram has launched a pretty intense campaign to malign Signal as insecure, with assistance from Elon Musk. The goal seems to b...

Both are centralised and need a phone number which, for most people, links to their identity. Unlike Signal, Telegram chats and calls are not end-to-end encrypted by default. Even Telegram does not claim that.

Get out of Nostr world. Bitchat is useless save for local mesh network communication, and is extremely poor for locational privacy due to always having Bluetooth LE always on. Nostr DMs and White Noise basically shotgun your metadata across a bunch of relays, poor for timing analysis, giant metadata leaks. SimpleX is the golden goose with ephemeral one time chat links and multi hop asymmetric chat relays. It has nearly impeccable metadata obfuscation. Session is pretty good, a good chunk better than XMPP mainly in metadata obfuscation from individual relay runners and from a network observer. XMPP is okay, good e2e but only when OMEMO is enabled. Poor metadata privacy from a network observer and from a server operator. Really good for LAN messaging though, and a super simple protocol, easy to integrate aside email servers since addresses are of the same format. Matrix has a bunch of known issues relating to metadata and data leaks and has the same weaknesses of XMPP. Signal has WhatsApp UX with strong encryption guarantees and some degree of metadata obfuscation. Big weakness in the phone number requirement.

Matrix clients also have the known issue of being made of bugs..

Unless buisness, family, counter-insurgancy I don't advocate privacy. I advocate being a signal. Let Palantir attempt to big data k-means and keep giving their masters crap intel

Get out of here with that nonsense. Defeatist cope.

OK, I'll leave you to purity spiral

Have fun exposing your private communications to entities that hate you.
