The amount of times I have Signal dunked on for confusing confidentiality versus anonymity is just too high.

The amount of times I have Signal dunked on for confusing confidentiality versus anonymity is just too high.
- Beretta_Vexee 11mo agoPeople don't learn to tell the difference. A number of people take advantage of this to push unrealistic and inconsistent threat models. ‘I need an anonymous, decentralised solution that can resist the NSA so I can send my shopping list to my wife. I'm not going to consider hardware access or coercion because I'm a law-abiding citizen.’ Some people forget that many things have already been tested. Do you want a file-sharing network and forums that are completely anonymous, decentralised, and resistant to censorship? It exists: Freenet. It's so overrun with paedophiles that even the most fervent advocates of anonymity have fled.
