Do you prefer Threema, Signal or Matrix? Why?

All the fucking people that actually know cryptography and are experts in their areas.
It's good to be inquisitive but at some point if a person is not qualified to understand either you gotta belief some authorative figure or pay someone you trust to go review the code if you still don't trust it.
Multiple experts have said for years that it's solid. There's audits out there. It's used in the most extreme places where people need to survive and commucate securely and governments keep screaming they need backdoors because they can't fo anything about it.
At some point the whole questioning it has to stop.
Continuing to eat garbage opinions from the internet and growing conspiracy theories eventually has a limit.
Sure, buddy.
Maybe you should read the comments you're replying to first.
If you can't do that much then maybe you just shouldn't comment at all.I'll simplify it for you:
- Did I suggest Signal is not secure? No.
- Did the OP make a claim Signal is somehow the most secure chat on the planet based on non existing sources pulled out of his ass? Yes.
Discussion quality on Lemmy starts looking like Reddit now.
Almost feels like home... -
The metadata is really important especially if you or anyone you talk to ends up being targeted. 95% of intelligence work is mapping out adversaries' communications networks..if you have that, you don't need to decrypt the contents because you already know who is talking to who. The federation of metadata alone is reason to avoid matrix for anything important.
Thank you for being one person in this thread that actually read and understood my comment.
A bunch of comments repeating "Signal is the most secure because I said so" was not helpful.

So, I have a Threema license, but from what I've seen its encryption isn't post-quantum. Signal's encryption seems the strongest. I host my own matrix server.
Also, I kind of don't care where the servers are or which provider it is. Everything is encrypted anyway.
I liked the Matrix because of all the kung fu karate fights, though I got to say the second one was the best, even though the third one had a Dragon Ball Z fight at the end

I just saw your reply to me and was about to say the same thing, but they worded it perfectly. And I did mention metadata as a key point in my original post.

Is it possible to use a number different to the one on the device you use? Seems like a simple workaround to use a throwaway SIM to set up, and then use it with that number moving forwards.

Yes: mine uses a Google Voice number.
