out of the loop, what's the problem with signal?
(thelemmy.club)
i've just seen a comment in a post, in this very community, saying people trust signal because of missinformation (from what i could undertand).
if this is true, then i have a few questions:
-what menssaging app should i use for secure communications? i need an app that balances simplicity and security.
-how to explain it to my friends who use signal because i recomended?
-what this means for other apps in general?
Any concerns around the fact that SimpleX Chat is Made in the UK?
It is also vc backed and they don't have a direct plan to sustainability
It's open source, and it's not tied to a single server the way Signal is. If the original people developing it started doing problematic things, it's easy to fork. One of the worst parts about Signal is how it's designed to lock you into using their official app and server making it effectively impossible to have a compatible fork.
