I always try to convince people I know to ditch Messanger/WA/etc. in favor of Signal, and in many cases I've succeeded.
- _heimdall 3y agoFor better or worse, I found that the people willing to keep Signal installed and up to date largely just to get in touch with me was a good proxy for the list of people that really matter most to me. I didn't win many over on the importance of privacy or Signal, but the willingness of some to put up with it because it matters to me says a lot about my relationship with them.
- rvba 3y agoWhat is good about signal? It does not allow unique account names (!), but uses telephone numbers - what is just absurdly bad security. The state can make a duplicate of your sim at any time. Not to mention linking phones to people is relatively easy.
- qilo 3y agoSignal introduced usernames about a month ago. https://signal.org/blog/phone-number-privacy-usernames/ https://signal.org/blog/phone-number-privacy-usernames/
- margorczynski 3y agoComplete E2E encryption, only you and the person that you're talking to can read the messages. Yes, having you be identified by phone number is not great but they introduced usernames recently.
