The biggest paradox that I am seeing here is that Edward Snowden is promoting Signal but also Jack Dorsey. Jack is a red flag.

[@chicawhappa]

My thoughts exactly. Suddenly now I am wary of using Signal. Now, Dorsey is clear that it should be a red flag. But I watched an interview of Snowden from last year, and it's clear to me he's a Bullshitter. He said that Obama just wanted to "do some good in the world" (lies, the guy was a warmonger), and there are no aliens (yet, the Israeli guy came out and said there are) and a few other things. Also the way he tries to drag his "uhhh" and modulates his voice, it sends ALL my red flags up. Guy is a disinfo agent, maybe he didn't start out that way, but he is now. I don't trust him at all, and Dorsey even less. Anyway, sorry for the rant.

This is not even about privacy anymore. It's about teaching bigtech that we are in control, and they need us. Not that we need them. We have the power, literally, at our fingertips. Let's teach Facebook a lesson

[@atlasmoon5497]

the fact that a lot of ppl from whatsapp don't want to switch is so scary like it was facebooks plan all along, get so ubiquitous that its hard to change

[@Ishakbar14]

Do u still believe this so called "privacy" these days???, well..... I Dont

[@querube78]

Damm imma download but it's gonna be hard getting others to do it bc Mexicans *REALLY* communicate with Facebook and WhatsApp has become a household name for us since we used to use minute cards to talk to our families in the US and vise versa. Hopefully this takes off.

Because Mexican's 😅😂🤣👍

NO NO NO NO NO.

Hmmm

Signal is not perfect, but it is superior to Whatsapp and Telegram in terms of privacy. Threema is also worth a look. Encryption and open source are important. The focus should be on decentralized messenger services based on the Matrix or XMPP protocols.

when Dorsey retweeted that, it stoped me from using signal.

[@Foxrock321]

I’m liking Telegram..

In any app one has to have confidence on the statements of the programmer. Marketing will say anything. Complex apps are near impossible to third party verify. Truth is we don't really know what elements a vendor can see or use.

Hello, I am new to Signal, and I already like it a lot! Only issue is that there aren’t many Signal users in my contacts. Question: what can you do with Signal that you can’t do with Whatsapp?

[@anirbandutta6913]

Answer to your question : stay safe and private.

[@quenguin7866]

signal is light years ahead in terms of privacy and security

[@rogeriogomesosorio4755]

What’s the business model?

[@copisetic1104]

I use iMessage, Apple keeps updating the app, very safe.

[@widlinebaptiste3920]

Sa vle di kite yonn pran yon lot app tout se menm rezo sosyo le what's app te fenk vini moun pa te itilize l konsa pou app ki genyen malgre se signal messenger toujou la

[@seanregehr4921]

Good review but your are mostly missing the important parts. That being said the platform going rogue and canceling, banning or shutting down accounts is important and that also makes a privacy policy crucial but only IF they follow it to a tee. The other big issue is what happens with the data after it arrives on their signals. The real concern is that many platforms sell or re-sell that data, so being encrypted matters not if a platform is simply making sales for their data.

I wish Signal had the features and the popularity that Telegram has. Telegram is just better for the time being. And it would be a simpler migration from WhatsApp since many people already have it.
