she dragged his ass
Literal troll posting from Elon. Definition of that it is 100x easier to create FUD than counter it.
If Signal is good enough for Jeff Bozos’s crony action, it is good enough for me
This /bigbrother approach is rad.

Simplex and xmpp only, on your own server.
Only good if you and your communications partner use Tor. Otherwise my ISP/your hoster knows we are communicating whenever my IP connects to the SimpleX/XMPP ports of your server's IP.
If I connect to Signal servers there are so many potential users I might be texting it is harder to track from the outside.
You can use tor, but xmpp doesn't leak metadata like signal and simplex is solving it with the next version. Relying on signal is a temporary solution and doesn't give you the freedom to self-host
But if I have my own xmpp server and you also host your own and then there is a connection from my xmpp server to yours on the xmpp port. What does that look like to a network observer?
sad to see @jack take part in this politically motivated attack on signal.
I only now realized that Elon has be FUDing Signal. Spook level hard
Eel is slick, or slippery, maybe both.
My respect for Meredith only grows. No way I expected to write this when she took the position.
Frankly the criticisms of Signal lately have been pretty dumb.

People that take Elon seriously really do mark themselves.
Signal FUD by Tucker, Elon and co is a total psyop
It's the best thing we have because it actually has a decent userbase.
May not prevent targeted spook attacks but will provide good comms privacy to most people.
