#tymczasemwRosji Roskomnadzor postanowił zablokować Signala - "z powodu naruszenia wymogów rosyjskiego prawa", rzecz jasna

So Russia blocked Signal - https://www.reuters.com/technology/signal-messenger-blocked-russia-says-roskomnadzor-ifax-2024-08-09/

"Access to the Signal messaging app is blocked in connection with violation of the requirements of Russian legislation which must be complied with to prevent the use of messaging apps for terrorist and extremist aims,"

So thankful that Russia goes after those extremists using Signal! Russia already has enough on their hands dropping bombs on hospitals and supermarkets and invading other countries! Fuck off extremists!

By the way we ship TROMjaro with a trade-free VPN to bypass these stupidities.

Also: Signal Settings > Privacy > Advanced > Censorship circumvention (on)

@grin @euronews @fdroidorg
If "just use #Signal" was a working strategy, it would be illegal around the globe and would've gotten hacked like #EncroChat...

Oh wait, #CloudAct means they'll already have to integrate #Govware #Backdoors and #ITAR means they can't "export" secure #cryptography.


@grin @euronews @fdroidorg you miss the point:

#Signal has to convince me - and all other critics - to trust them, not the other way around.

And they certainly refuse to acknowledge said issues or provide transparency for "why"...

And that's always a bad sign!


Before me asking others here in the #fediverse for recommendations about #Fdroid #apps , I did not know about #KryptEY

https://github.com/amnesica/KryptEY

It is an #Android keyboard for secure #E2EE communication through the #signal protocol in any messenger.

You could not design a worse "private messaging" app than #Converso if you tried.

Great read:

> #Signal published a blog post on how we were all different and they were trying to adapt to those differences. Signal was for everyone, told the title. Ironically, that very same day, I’ve lost access to my account.

> I’ve suddenly been excluded from all the conversations with my friends because I very slightly but unacceptably deviated from the norm.

> 3yrs ago, I thought having a black and white screen on my own phone was more comfortable for my eyes.


I cannot begin to comprehend why most people are so resistant to installing #signal.

Most of my contacts won't even try it. A few humor me. 6-8 use it regularly, 2 recommend it to others.

I try not to be obnoxious about it, but it's great and people won't even bother with it.


"The Danger Of Privacy At All Costs"

People have to make a decision. You can only choose one.

Do you want freedom / human autonomy?

Or do you want pretend safety?

Ben Franklin quote:

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Thomas Jefferson: "I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery"

so #session have dropped Perfect Forward Secrecy, Deniability and Self-Healing from the #Signal protocol saying "who needs these anyway". And created a new protocol pulling out of their... whatevers.
What could possibly go wrong?


As much as I like #matrix, I think that this article is misleading. Where does it get that its security is of higher quality? Also it claims that #signal is not open source because it is not federated, which are two different concepts. The fact that the server was not open source has an impact on the metadata, but not on the encryption. And is Matrix actually better with metadata?

I use and like Signal and Matrix. I just don't like aggressive "marketing" like this.


most of my contacts are using #matrix, #signal groups, or various #fediverse endpoints, as well as #twitter and stuff.


This article about a #CIA offshoot funding several prominent Internet #privacy projects is pretty damning on its own, but it will not change my app usage decision. I do not personally use #Signal to be protected from nation-state level #surveillance.

However, it put in perspective Edward Snodwen's recent "testimonial" for the app as being alive as a good reason to use Signal. Now I do not believe this is the main reason or even a reason at all he hasn't been assassinated on the US government orders yet.

Bottom line, even if Signal had a US-government backdoor, I'd still recommend its use to protect oneself from corporate surveillance.



Stick with #signal, y'all. Yes, they're still dealing with the MASSIVE influx of users, but it's hard to predict that you're going to have growth on the scale Signal has seen, and today's was the biggest influx yet.


Given #Signal 's current infrastructure issues, I started donating $5 a month to the Signal Technology Foundation non-profit behind it through my company's donation-matching platform so they will get $120 a year from me from now on.

Please donate with me


#signal is unconciously lying on the floor. Uh oh.


Now definitely is a good time to encourage your contacts to try #signal

Don't tell them to stop using WhatsApp, just to give a try to Signal. They can use both during some time, that's no problem. You have until the 8th of Februray to accept the new Whatsapp terms (tip: don't. But that gives you time).


Here something I didn’t know about #Signal.. You can run your own server..?

Not that I personally have the inclination atm… 🙄

See #4

uh what a mess! #matrix missing but #signal is centralised. I don't check them one by one, some I've never heard about...


Drop everything you're doing, there is an Angela #Merkel #Signal sticker pack! 🎉
