I’ve tried Signal, Session, Matrix and SimpleX and the most convenient one is Signal. Some will refuse to switch, some, the closest people to you, will agree but probably just for you, unless they see an interest in signal themselves

For WhatsApp users: I’m saying that they leak all the contacts to Meta/Facebook and use it for advertising and tracking, + sending to the US gov because we all know they share data

For discord users: they’re a bit known for not deleting things, and backed by Tencent (if I recall correctly) they could have a reason to start using messages for advertising or similar. They’re already using game activity data to push ads (or quests as they’re called). Based in the US so also probably leaks to the gov.

But most importantantly: I just ask if they’re really to have all their messages, and especially their private messages leaked to the public in case they get hacked. Including all images sent in PMs, and having those analyzed by some other companies as well (often for CP, but still, I’m not really ok with that). Some will say that they’re not, in this case alright, go switch to Signal! Some will say they are okay with it, and tbh they’re probably lying or underestimating the risks and the impact.

Discord is alright, but please, or all sensitive messages, please switch to an encrypted messenger.

I wish it had tenor instead. Giphy seems to really lack content, I never find what I’m searching for

I hate matrix because it’s hard to use and understand, and also most client collect a shit ton of data, which goes against all the privacy benefits

Not everyone plays league of legends 😂

Works fine for me

What the fuck was that x)

😵 some people just don’t care

It’s their job though, not their personal life, so they might care less

I imagine you keep your password manager unlocked, or as not requiring 2FA on trusted devices then? Re entering 2FA each session is annoying

You still have the treat of viruses or similar. If someone gets access on your device while the password manager is unlocked (ex: some trojan on your computer), you’re completely cooked. If anything it makes it worse than not having 2FA at all.

If you can access your password manager without using 2FA on your phone and have the built in phone biometrics to open it like phone pin, finger or face, someone stealing your phone can do some damage. (Well, the same stands for a regular 2FA app, but meh, I just don’t see an improvement)

I have never understood the goal of passkeys. Skipping 2FA seems like a security issue and storing passkeys in my password manager is like storing 2FA keys on it: the whole point is that I should check on 2 devices, and my phone is probably the most secure of them all.

What?

I didn’t get it 🤔

That’s… pretty funny actually x)

Sorry for u my dude

Most matrix clients just collect loads of data, so meh

They’re supposed to be hashed so that shouldn’t matter

Unless that’s the joke or something

I was talking about crypto and blockchain in general

You can achieve relative anonymity by getting BTC by swapping with a better crypto like Monero

At least your money is safe, it’s what I mean by control. They can’t take it from you.

Or maybe just privacy and anonymity, low fees, not being controlled by external entities? You know, the thing it was built for.

Sarcasm?

That was the case for me, until I decided to read the article

It was kinda wrote like a statement. People who didn’t read the article will read it as such, misinforming people

Unity casually destroying the trust between them and their devs
