fxomt the destroyer of worlds

I guess so. It’s encrypted data sent over email from what i understand. Tbf i’d rather trust software built with protocols specifically built for secure and private messaging, and email is known to not be that.

Yup that’s why it seems great :) though i haven’t heard of forks. I think i’ll wait a little more till i switch to it, just to see if it gets itself in hot water. It’s too early to tell

It’s cool, thought people should still be wary of it since it’s new and backed by VC.

I’d give it a little more until i switch fully to it, but it 100% is better than WA.

Yeah it’s a shame, though i’m going to wait before switching to it to see if it gets itself into any hot water.

Interesting, thanks. I think SimpleX fixes a lot of signal’s issues, but the only problem i have that it is funded by VC and quite new.

If only there was a website that helps you choose, instead of inclining users to just use lemmy and only lemmy.world anyway. (also with mastodon and mastodon.social).

Overall i think more software choices are great but you are right in that it could repel users :/

The protocol doesn’t really matter when you send encrypted messages over it like Delta Chat

Maybe. My comment was based off of what i understood from the website

Signal is not private

Could you elaborate on this? haven’t heard of this point (is it due to the jurisdiction on a 5 eyes country?)

SimpleX doesn’t have encrypted group chats last time I tried

It actually does now. It’s a very solid choice i’d say :)

Doesn’t delta use email under the hood, an insecure protocol?

You’re better off using something like Matrix, XMPP, SimpleX or Signal.

True, i’ll take it over wa any day.

There’s also SimpleX, though it’s much less popular. (not like Signal is used everywhere though, it’s just a matter of what you switch your group to.)

To stop it, disable “Help share videos being played” in your options

Could the software selection be more diverse? There’s also MBin/Piefed, and Misskey/Sharkey/Firefish/Akkoma/Iceshrimp. Just a suggestion tho. (obviously they can’t all fit in the image, but it would be nice to see an alternative to popular software like lemmy/mastodon.)

PS: Signal is not federated at all, it’s centralized. It should either be replaced with SimpleX or matrix/Jabber.
