If even Signal is compromised, I'm debating just going back to WhatsApp for convenience and assuming that every message I send and every contact I have is fully public information that can be used by advertisers and governments to profile me.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoHmm, any reservations about Matrix ?
- nerdponx 6y agoQuestionable UX in the flagship/reference Element client, and it's laggy/slow no matter where your homeserver is hosted. After so many years, it's still a curiosity and for-hackers-only experience that's pretty much just like IRC but with lots of lag. I'm about ready to to give up on it. I still love the idea of it and I hope it actually gets good/usable one day. Until then, I can recommend it only if you want to be an early adopter, but not if you want a good experience.
- BlueTemplar 6y ago> pretty much just like IRC The media capabilities are nothing like IRC. In fact I moved to Element because Conversations had trouble with media.
- nerdponx 6y agoThat's fair. I guess maybe it's different when you have a group of people who actively use it. It's certainly not the IRC/Discord/Slack replacement that I was hoping it'd be, where lots of "randoms" can join and a community develops. The UX is still going to be unacceptable for most non-technical people, so I definitely can't convince my friends to switch from Discord, even for our private group.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoThis is probably more about them being used to it ? What is preventing "randoms" from joining ? What are those "unacceptable UX issues" ? BTW, if you really care about it you could insist like I generally do that it's either you or Discord/Slack.
