Never really thought much of Techlore (no offense if you see this, but to be honest I haven’t even thought to click on a single one of your videos, sorry)…
I use the APK directly from the site and I haven’t heard of this build situation, etc. I also think we could think the same about many other private chat apps — are they really keeping their promises?
My gripe with Signal is that it still needs that phone number to onboard. I know about the forks, and I even used Pigeon on the Punkt phone. Now that Moxie has stepped down from his role at Signal, things may change again.
I guess the best you could get is something like Session or Briar right now? XMPP?
I live in France, and another problem is rearing its head: asking to ban or weaken encryption in the name of national security.
Yeah, we can say this thing about many other private messenger, completely true.
Best options for anonimity and privacy as I see are Session and SimpleX (funding model is suspicious for such a sensitive business, i know).
Privacy news from France are really bad, Europe cares about privacy, yeahyeahyeah.
They care about protecting user data at least, and they have made attempts to keep some of the giants in check. Threads™ isn’t available here yet because of these laws. So with one hand they give us some pretty awesome rights and protection, and with the other they are spying quite a bit.
Kinda mehmeh situation, I think 😊
