Mobile is not safe in any kind (instead maybe Linux phones, without mobile network)


disgusting is not the world, maybe more without sense





It’s really an absolute no. But it requires your phone and is centralized, basically that’s the two mains concerns that I have.




I don’t see any main website being broken due to firefox



I’ve seen a lot of people using Vivaldi as “private” browser. What is the point here?


I don’t like using “encrypted” email because in fact email is really not a secure protocol by default, you can send secure email to each other but if you’re communicating to gmail, yahoo, outlook… You will lost all your privacy. Hosting an email service is good but do not use encryption when talking randomly to gmail accounts.


The best thing is to self host it, to have better uptimes and custom default settings


1 - Maybe try to use https://duck.ai it’s open source model hosted by duckduckgo

2 - Element is not the way to go for sensitive infos, it’s like a discord replacement in the way of joining public groups, not really a good messenger for really secure and bulletproof 1:1, recommanding Signal or even better SimpleX

4 - Use Mullvad.


To combat censorship, first go out a anti-censorship platform and then try to solve the problem


Telegram is not a social for counter the censorship and be private, it’s not good at all to use Telegram for this kind of messaging + with the arrest of Durov, it will even more difficult to counter govs when using Telegram




It can run as long as your on the same network as the other instance and for the chat export in readable format, I actually don’t know, sorry


Right, and completely agreed with that, but I think that SimpleX is just better in most cases (not on battery life for now), as it could be also self hosted


I wouldn’t use SimpleX for public and large groups, only for small and 1:1, use SimpleX with your friends ans family


I wouldn’t use SimpleX for public and large groups, only for small and 1:1, use SimpleX with your friends ans family


For 1:1 and small groups, XMPP is not as convenient + not as secure


Personnaly I would recommended SimpleX for small groups and 1:1, only a bit less uglier


My #1 recommandation for messenger, as the day of today
Just a post to say the goods of using SimpleX instead of others "private" messenger. First it doesn't not require any id, phone number, etc... Can create how many accounts that you want! Decentralized servers, everyone can run and use own servers, and communicate with others! Big privacy side! Look at this one of the best https://privacyspreadsheet.com/messaging-apps. The only negative is the usability of the app, this is why it needs support and be democratize to gain attraits to people, and maybe one day be one the most used messenger app...

Would be the most appropriate in this case as people don’t need to hide when talking in public groups


Basically a app that lock you with a phone, giving you only one account. Centralized servers. Not good.


Seen a lot of different opinion in this, but personnaly I would recommended this.

  • SimpleX, for the most privacy (but not really appropriate here) Wouldn’t use any of threema wire and else, as it’s not the best.

  • A good option in the case of this project is a matrix server, if the group is public it’s the best thing. Try to host it somewhere else than matrix.org. Will have no real hiding but surely anonymously if done correctly





Would recommended SimpleX over Signal if you want the “best”, but for users that are pretty new to this maybe Signal


You will always find problems associated with every thing but here’s some recommandations :

For a good start, Signal and his forks (molly…)

For daily basis and better than Signal, choose SimpleX (SimpleX is only feature incomplete for the mainstream app, but in it you can send texts, voices, photos, videos, live messages, have a PP, a alias for your contacts…)

Important stuff and activism, use Briar


You’re right


Ohh yeah I forgot about it, changing it now


1st - nothing works “offline” (for SMS you need to be connected to the mobile network

2nd - look at my message, I propose you 2 alternatives, one for SMS (to avoid) and one for “main” messages


SMS alternative - Quik SMS (fork of qksms)

Message alternative - SimpleX



For the Paris 2024 Olympics, the city got the "right" to use the AI surveillance technology in the street. As we thought, they are going to keep this as long as they can. We need to do something against this IRL mass surveillance, going every day more into our private life

Could be good, but be aware that it doesn’t bother the real users. Continue working! 😃


You can’t. Sorry.

If the datas are in the nature you can’t regain it. If it’s a real danger for you the best you should do is try to invade your name address and everything with a lot of false infos. This will not resolve the spam problem but might save your life literally in others cases


You shouldn’t put anything really important in a google/apple phones

What do you think about Invisible Pro?
I have some concerns about this app and I'm asking if it's useful or not, not the app itself but more the 3 protocols included in it. I2P, DNSCrypt and TOR. **What is you opinion?**

A few weeks ago, leaks from a Chinese company specialized in hacking were revealed publicly. We learned about the ways of hacking and much more, very interesting article to read! 👍 > I-Soon was founded in Shanghai in 2010. Its CEO, Wu Haibo (吴海波), is a “first-generation red hacker or Honker and early member of Green Army which was the very first Chinese hacktivist group founded in 1997” according to a Natto Thoughts blog post on the company from October 2023

Hardware Chinese & USA trackers?
Hello everyone, I have a question : Does Android phone have **hardware based trackers**? Not with the telecom part (for sure it has some), but especially in the CPU... And are **Chinese** phones **worst** than **USA** branded? So is the fact of having a degoogled os resolved the problem? Thx 😃
