As top Trump aides sent texts on Signal, flight data show a member of the group chat was in Russia

I don't think it can, it's a flagship because it's the first instance, being run by the main devs as a demonstration of Lemmy's capabilities so it's always on the latest beta version at least.
But, they could just stop using it as a tool to further their own political stances and have it actually be a "generalist" instance. For that though, they'd have to give up being the admins of it, which they'll probably never do.
It is of concern yes, but maybe if the wider Lemmy-verse defeded from them it would at least be easier to say that their views are not shared by any of us to any newcomers/outsiders by being able to point to a clear and visible action like defederation.

Do we need users who cannot mentally separate that?

Love the way THE BBC is trying to make signal sound like some hackers playset, really shows how much the UK gov hate encryption or people having any privacy at all.
The UK is an utter shithole when it comes to privacy, always has been. It doesn’t look to be getting better any time soon either.

Isn't hard to look up the BBC site, their pretty much making signal sound like an insecure hacking tool only used by dissidents.
Why would dissidents want to use something insecure?

Looks like Russia won the ideological war and will be exporting authoritarianism to the globe.
They been exporting since the 80'with trump

Doesn't matter if the phone is rooted.
Rooted phones with signal are more secure or less secure?
-
These fucking fools, these incompetent baboons. Gods damn the whole lot of 'em.
Goons. Absolute apes

Less. If someone has root privs on your phone they can screenshot without your notice and send those shots wherever they want, encryption or self-deleting messaging apps be damned.

Lol I wear my ban with pride. All you have to do is go over there and use the word 'tankie'. They really don't like that word for some reason.
next step is get banned from progressive politics

It might happen twice, but that's the max, I'm pretty sure.

I find you in every thread shitting on ml at the vaguest mention of Russia or China though. Before anyone ever brought up anything related to them. It's almost like you have an agenda. Or vendetta.
Please show me on this doll where the dirty commies hurt you:

That's treason.

They try to play themselves off as communists but I can't say I've ever seen a single one of them make a legitimate comment about communist ideals. What they really are is a propaganda mouthpiece for the Chinese and Russian governments.
Historically, groups that have "communist" in their name have been Soviet mouthpieces. Not all of them, and the ideology doesn't require it by any means, but it happened a lot. Conversely, if they had "socialist" in their name, they were more likely to want nothing to do with that shit.

Important reminder. Why is this downvoted?
Because it's largely irrelevant? If someone says "This is the best lock you can use on your front door" and someone else replies "not if you leave the key in the lock" do you think that's a important thing to mention? No lock is safe if you leave the key in the lock. Maybe it's important to remind people that you shouldn't leave your key in the lock, but that statement says nothing about the security of the lock.
Similarly maybe it's important to remind people that their phones might already be rooted, but that statement says nothing about whether Signal is good or bad from a security point of view.

Why monitor what he went there to inform them about?
Who's to say this member in Russia doesn't live there...

Who thinks Putin doesn't intercept these chats?

Who thinks Putin doesn't intercept these chats?
Who thinks he needs to intercept them?
He was probably told before any of these guys.
