I really don’t understand why so many people like Signal. It’s an utter piece of shit in terms of UX, has questionable security practices, harvests phone numbers, and it’s located on a central server in US.
Signal has always looked like a honeypot operation to me. Keep in mind, too that if you run a CIAware operating system, the key can be remotely pulled off of the filesystem or extracted from memory. It’s not possible to have any secure piece of software on an unsecurable OS.
indeed
Totally agree, it has an extremely sus history too. No one should be using any US-based centralized service.
Someone should give SimpleX or Session a try
I have tried session, the crypto wierds me out a little, but I could not find a terrible issue with the service. I will say Quality of Life Features where not there, most notable the messageing service would start to heavily log out if you have it open too long
