Any good reason to use Signal over Wire?

• bigiain 9y ago
  For me - just because I trust Moxie. If your threat model includes state level actors - Wire's Swiss-based company might provide some protection over potential problems of Moxie and WhisperSystem being in the US - but if you're trying to protect against the NSA I hope you've got better sources of advice than an Ask HN... As a "low hanging fruit" - and of Signal or Wire or maybe even WhatsApp are better than SMS or Google Chat... If your friend group has already chosen one of them - use that. If you get to choose, I'd recommend Signal - but not in a super strongly opinionated way.
