Greetings!

A friend of mine wants to be more secure and private in light of recent events in the USA.

They originally told me they were going to use telegram, in which I explained how Telegram is considered compromised, and Signal is far more secure to use.

But they want more detailed explanations then what I provided verbally. Please help me explain things better to them! ✨

I am going to forward this thread to them, so they can see all your responses! And if you can, please cite!

Thank you! ✨

    This 1 + 1 = 2 logic is boring. It’s trying to escape out of a wet paper bag over and over again. Whatever your 1 + 1 = 2 logic is their is another guy who can drive a bus staight thru it. Every single time.

    In a year from now you will find out you are completely mistaken and just repeating nonsense. Every freak’n time.

    Just for once, do the wrong thing. Make the wrong choice on purpose.

    Instead of seeing never ending red flags. Today see purple flags. And tomorrow orange. Cuz why do flags always have to be red?

    You can be right or you can have fun.

    Do the wrong thing sometimes. Live a little.

      Hopefully you aren’t driving any buses while you’re this high.

      It’s not never ending red flags. In fact, I see lots of green flags from signal. Telegram, though, that’s a different story.

        i’m a milk tea addict. Carry around cinnamon and nutmeg. And hang out on github.

        These are horrible vices. But no excuse for having divergent opinions.

        Telegram is fine.

        Signal will be gone tomorrow and you’ll lose your network. Moving networks from one platform to another is impossible. So we end up creating new networks.

        Currently i’m making a network of Python coders i’ve collaborated with. The communication medium is not consistent nor ideal.

        Hate email with a passion. So of course most the communication is going over plain text email. Tried pushing for communication on plain text mastodon.
