The Signal and the noise: Why the messaging app is great for privacy but not for war plans.

Dude. We're on Lemmy. Don't be advertising some closed source app.
Missl is the best federated, defense first, FOSS war planning app available. You can self host using docker or use one of the many public instances.
Missl hasn't been maintained in a while, though. I'd recommend the fork DAVECON1. Dave is pretty active still, listens to the community. He recently removed the little prompt box that popped up when you were planning to commit war crimes and genocide, which has improved my workflow and plausible deniability!

Signal is gaining the network effect. Session is not. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough.
If you can influence others to do so, use the better app. My family, we use Briar.

4chan is what you need
Nah, too much moderation, go with one of the many more niche *chans, or even just one of the 8chan clones.

True. For war plans use Tinder, or maybe Pinterest.

I usually use Genocide Palestine. It's actively developed and supported on all major platforms, in pretty much all countries.

What's wrong with the traditional war thunder comms?

Oh man, you got me there.

Signal is traceable. Session is untraceable.
I think there was an article recently about Session devs, first, having their protocol derived from Signal's, second, not knowing what they were doing with that, which would discredit it pretty hard.
Also everything is traceable, it's a question of effort and who you piss off.

You surely meant Warthunder forums

Each participant is sent a separate copy of each message encrypted with their own key.
This is one way that signal differs from WhatsApp e2e in groups. In WhatsApp the server replicates the message out to all clients. It can't read the message but it knows the recipient list. In Signal your phone sends the message several times, so only members of the group know who is in the group.

The app doesn't matter. Wrong fucking network.
Absolutely right. Messages of the type they sent should never be on a public network whether they are encrypted or not.

Ok, let's pick the correct App for planning the rebellion.

TLDR: some government/military official added a reporter to a Signal group were some high profile people were discussing and sharing war plans.
The app's encryption is perfectly fine. It's just clickbait. -

Around the house? Briar is for chats over bluetooth, unless I'm mistaken.

To be fair, variety makes groups more resilient. If Signal were to ever become compromised somehow, people who use other apps like Session will be okay.
It's not a zero-sum game, either -- people can use Signal and other apps.

You don't know what you are talking about. Just because Session is a fork of Signal doesn't mean it isn't better, but is an improvement. Session adds identity protection and it is decentralized. There is no personal information needed to create accounts; no phone number or email required. There is no metadata storage. Had the Trump cabinet used Session instead of Signal, there would be no evidence to the identities of the individuals messaging each other. Signal requires a phone number to have an account which traces to an identity. The leaked war plans were not from encryption failing, but traceable identities.

Bluesky, Lemmy, Revolt, Spark, & Flashes apps
Those each cover a different aspect that will body everyone. We need a US Community on Revolt too not just Lemmy

The app's encryption is perfectly fine. It's just clickbait.They weren’t war plans. They were attack plans. /s
