I wish Signal was developed more openly, more like the linux kernel for a "critical infrastructure" example. I wish it had more features, so it could take the place of something like Slack. I wish it supported interoperability like fedi.

But it's good for what it is and I sure am glad it's around. People who disrespect it don't know what they're talking about.

    Isn't matrix more like slack that you are looking for?

    When it comes to security, I don’t think it’s close at all.

    Why not? I thought it had very good security. It's E2E encrypted and the government of France uses it.

    Maybe I misunderstood. I thought I heard about terrible security implementations relating to matrix servers.

    Edit: I think I was remembering this: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/09/matrix-patches-vulnerabilities-that-completely-subvert-e2ee-guarantees/

    Looks like I’m mostly wrong.

    A while back people had a problem with metadata or something. I used to have my own server, so I wasn’t really worried about it.

    But it’s been like 3 years since I’ve used it or looked into it.

    Kinda curious what’s changed at this point.

    "Molly" is a common nickname of the drug Ecstasy (MDMA)

    "time for molly" kind of implies you're off to get high

    MDMA high is great, I’d do it all the time. Good name

    I wish it wasn't located in the US where you know even though it's e2ee they send all the data they get(and that's a lot) to the government or whoever wants it. But e2ee is cool, right. Nobody from the government cares about it though, but it's cool.
