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?
Its a centralized service, you have no idea what code they're running. You can't host your own.
Also they went a whole year one time without publishing any server code updates until they got a lot of backlash for it. Still, since its centralized, it can't be trusted to be running what they say they are.
