I hate texting. I have no social media or WhatsApps or these things.
Call, sms, Nostr.
What more do we really need
Discussion
SMS is Bitcoin, Signal/SimpleX/Threema are Monero.
If signal is good enough for the US government to discuss war plans, then it's good enough for us to use 🤝
😂
Signal is good for normie friends, and family but for my schizo privacy junkie online friends I use SimpleX.
Rarely do I use signal with people from the interwebs unless I've met them IRL already.
If SimpleX is good enough for my shizo privacy junkies it's exactly the right fit for my family.
Main pro of signal is that it's normie friendly, has a good UI, has a notable user base already, and has optional discoverability, and optional privacy.
I like SimpleX a lot but it's got a high learning curve, a UX that is still early, and otherwise just isn't convenient for people you know IRL.
Might do it with privacy people but I feel like signal is the winner even if simplex in theory has better opsec.
Signal produces lots of metadata on AWS. At least use Molly without a phone number.
Just giving you best practice suggestions.
Why go for a worse product when you can have the best for the same price?
You are responsible for yourself, but assume that your decisions also make life easier or harder for those people that absolutely depend on havinna secure and private communication network. If only few people use it they are much more easy to single out.
Conclusion: Your decions and consequent actions therefore have a marginal effect on my security and privacy and vice versa.
Calls and SMS are inherently insecure. It'll get you in troubles sooner or later.
Graphene > Orbot/InviziblePro/TorVPN > SimpleX means going dark.
What troubles?
Let the state read my SMS for penis enlargement, I'm okay with them wasting their time and energy on stupid shit 😂
I don't want to go dark, I have no need to. I'm not fighting anyone, but if needed I am happy to use these tools.
Also, if you Pete hegseth it and invite someone to the signal group, what's the point? 😂
