Elon Musk’s X blocks links to Signal, the encrypted messaging service
-
It is, but Signal and Matrix aren't really all that similar. Matrix's privacy is pretty atrocious. It stores tons of meta data about users all over the place. That's the exact opposite of what Signal does.
-
Signal is person to person messaging with groups on the side (ala WhatsApp)
Matrix is groups with person to person on the side (ala Discord)
-
I think I remember him endorsing signal years ago which gave it at big boost at the time
-
What don't they block? But that's not unique either. I could not put the word Signal into my WhatsApp status before deleting the app.

Meanwhile, Mike Pence still hanging around on Facebook.
Whatever happened to that guy anyway?
-
He has a very low bar by most of the developed world's standards, but he refused to lower it further for maga, so he's history now.
-
I know things are defcon level insane,but reading that, the as is way they phrase and apply the terms, by someone with that specific set of skills, makes things sound (they are) so much more malicious.
Welcome to America 2.0 : death to america, hello network state.
-
No, they used Telegram because they're idiots and don't understand privacy.
-
You use Simplex over Signal for improved privacy and no identifiers, not Matrix.
Signal is still very good though.

just hanging around

Absolutely

He was a conservative, not a MAGA supporter in my opinion. At the end of the day I have to see it as conservatives have ideals that do not align with mine, but MAGA is a group that believes that their ideals matter more than the people's freedoms. They believe tearing apart a representative democracy is fine, so long as their ideology prospers at the moment, but it is VERY short sighted as their ideology isn't why the leaders of MAGA is reforming it. Once they have reformed it the conservatives who supported MAGA will no longer have much say in anything, their votes won't matter. The oligarchs will decide what size rations they/we deserve, and we all know those rations are shrinking and shrinking.

Matrix leaks a ton of metadata and for normal users the clients are still very much in the sucking phase. Signal being centralized changes nothing about its security when the freaking servers can't see anything about the messages. It literally is the most secure way to communicate out there, period.
-
Because its a more user friendly experience. Your grandma can use it with no hustle. Matrix is more complicated UX and also much slower and buggier (at least if you use Element and matrix.org). Ive actually started to prefer Delta Chat over Matrix.
-
yup. signal devs/servers have NO access at all to anything about the conversations.
-
Free speech!

Mike Pence still hanging around
Man Trump supporters won't quit huh?
-
Thanks; is leaking metadata just a consequence of the decentralized nature or is it something specific to how Matrix was made? Maybe I'll try out Signal (I've been looking for some alternatives) but I don't like how they're based in America/5 Eyes, even if they are encrypted.
-
Ooh thanks that makes more sense
-
It'll be easier on them to do so if they were all placed in the same room
