You really aren't using this false honeypot, are you?

I use briar instead

Here's your founder of signal bro

Still trust using the app?

Why is that a problem, it is the biggest democracy of the planet.

>>105973760
I don't use signal or any of those other silly apps but I would trust that guy with basic E2E encryption. He looks like he relies on it to share his "collection".

>>105973735 (OP)
I use private radio transmission while simultaneously poisoning sms, imessage, whatsapp, and signal with provocative sounding keywords and send encrypted images of RGB noise.

>>105973735 (OP)
Morons like you have also been claiming that Tor is backdoored for close to two decades now, with no shred of evidence at all. Unlike you, those protocols actually do manage to provide substance.

>>105974553
> tor
Backdoored or not, it’s not wise to trust it unconditionally.
This is the precautionary principle.

Always use encryption within the encryption, and use tor through hostile (foreign) government vpns.
It’s common sense.

>>105974526

Typical gen xer cryptopunk tier. The others turned stateside. It's the best we got. There are practical realities you have to deal with in regards to usability and p2p is not feasible at scale. It's not the one and only be all. You can use Secret X or whatever it's called.

>>105974526
Yeah sure, Jew shill

>>105973735 (OP)
Still no file support, and also it's risky to use Briar with unkown people because ID's generated from phone info need to be exchanged.

>>105973735 (OP)
As far as I can tell they purposely create problems for themselves when requresting information for smaller fish in the pond. Like conventional drug dealers or pedos or whatever. Then it becomes news that some three letter agency requested info that wasn't given. But obviously if the government really wanted to, they could either peer into Signal's databases or outright raid them if the circumstances are bad enough. Even then, Signal themselves have kneeled a few times and given requested info (at least partially) to the government.

At the end of the day, Signal teaches us one thing: the only way to truly stay anonymous on the internet is staying a small enough fish that they don't even care enough to expend resources on you. And even that is seeing it's sunset since Palantir is creating the Library of Babel of online information, and multiple-hundred-bullion dollar AI datacenters being able to monitor virtually all online activity.

they do this regularly, signal is intentionally designed to store as little about you as possible for this reason. IIUC its an obfuscated/hashed phone number, the unix millis when you created your account, and the unix millis when you last connected.

see https://signal.org/bigbrother/cd-california-grand-jury/ for an example response to a subpeona. this IS all they store or california would fuck them.

Just dont be a spammer, or buy disposable number for like 50 cents or so.

and?

>I use briar instead
A while back, I decided to test out Briar to see if it would be a good choice of instant messaging programs. So I got one friend to download it, we both exchanged contacts over Matrix, and... we were unable to connect to one another on Briar. Perhaps it was due to the fact that I was using the desktop application and he was using the mobile application, but I don't see how that should be a problem in any capacity.

In any case, I've had good experiences with Matrix. Open source, doesn't require a phone number, does E2EE, completely decentralized, and works seamlessly regardless of what device you're using.

>>105975628
>signal is intentionally designed to store as little about you as possible for this reason
And you just take their word for it, while a google service tells you from whom you got a message at what time?
Don't you think that relying on someones words, while the observed reality contradicts them, is a bit silly?

>>105975986
Lol it just doesn't week in half of cases and has a lot of bugs. Also sending images is cursed, I tried gajim and there was some image bug, tried psi+ and saw in the logs that when you send an image it's actually a link, you can just open it in browser and it will be unencrypted, so in theory hacker can bruteforce the links.

>>105975910
>doesn't require a phone number
Then how are you supposed to be sending messages to your contacts.

>>105976185
I click on their username in the Element application, maneuver my mouse to the text field at the bottom of my chat history, type up the message, and hit enter.

>>105976243
Meanwhile if you use signal, it instantly recognises your catalogue and lets you pick a contact without hassle.

>>105976249
There's no hassle though. Everyone I want to talk to is just in this left hand sidebar in Element. The interface is... honestly very similar to Discord. Even an idiot could use it.

>>105974755
Without muslims europeans would still be shitting into pots and throw it out the windows.
The Renaissance was built on crusaders invading muslim lands, fucking everyone up, stealing their books and figuring out that they didn't even have simple history because the churches burned it all down in the name of religion.
Yeah muslims have problems these days, but it's not lile we've been bombing them back into the stone ages and disturbing their politics for over a century now, right?

>>105973735 (OP)
Even if this is true, it is still a better choice than Whatsapp.

>>105974553
https://www.wired.com/2007/09/rogue-nodes-turn-tor-anonymizer-into-eavesdroppers-paradise/

if one autistic Swede with 5 nodes can scoop up this, what can a state actor with massive funding and a lot more nodes do? The only reason it is functional for privacy in many cases (ie. illegal things like drugs) is because spooks need to have some legitimate traffic on the network in order to make it usable for their own purposes.

It costs £1 for a sim you can use to register signal and whatsapp and you can throw it away after. You can also use the number for about 6 months without topping up if you really need so but WhatsApp and signal will last longer. Filtered by an easy workaround.

my mom uses whatsapp so I have no other option anyway

>>105976356
You're actually FUCKED if you need to reverify your number

>>105976597
Not had to reverify my signal and whatsapp numbers for almost 3 years. And I'd just get a new one if I needed it because I have a temp number for a reason.

>>105976618
Well you have to if you need a new phone for whatever reason.

You really are using this perfect secure, private, free as in freedom anti-American (anti- US third world) messaging application, are you? Only "negative" for some people is the fact that this is politically right wing and anti-LGBT

>>105976630
I'll just get a new number. Most people don't change their numbers and I mostly use WhatsApp for drugs. I only have one email address with my banking linked that's not temp. Everything else is throwaway.

Just roll your own messenging site that ciphers messages and then uses PGP over that, and deletes messages 3 minutes after they're seen.

It's niche enough that there won't be existing tools to exploit it. Feddies would have to examine it manually

Yep, this is some bullshit. Why does it need to "link devices" on desktop?

>I use briar instead
>p2p
rejected, the goal is to not broadcast my ip to the world lmao, are you stupid?
p2p is the opposite of private, the entire fucking world and glowies from everywhere can connect to your devices and check for backdoors
in signal case, they need a subpoena but they don't store anything beyond the last ip and creation date
glowies from every country use it so it's safer than any p2p shitness that leak your data

>>105978769
This, I've tried and it's a massive pain in the ass.
Ejabberd and prosody are basically abandonware and if you don't have an instance already good luck spinning one up. All documentation is 10yrs out of date and half the plugins/modules don't work anymore.

>>105974553
The public is only allowed access to the tor network because glow niggers and the US military want to hide their own communications through it. It's safe to assume it's compromised considering who owns it (and most of the nodes). Further more, most people access it through the provided browser based on Firefox. Which is just a horrible idea. But people that access it through shit like Brave are the biggest idiots of all. Since they're even more likely to be compromised via both the browser engine and the fact that they don't blend in with everyone else. The only thing I use tor is routing some non-browser traffic. I don't even buy drugs off it anymore (pro-top: The same people importing the cocaine to America are running all the markets. I hope you know who that is).

>>105973735 (OP)
The founder has ties to US glow nigger community. It's a massive honeypot which is why it's shilled so widely and often. Anyone using it is an idiot.

Try setting up your own service for this or running a tor node. I assure you they'll come knocking on your door within 3 months if not sooner. Happened to me.

>>105975628
>signal is intentionally designed to store as little about you as possible
A NSL can just tell them to start logging.

Sealed sender doesn't protect you from the server. You are using your username to check for incoming messages and it knows your IP, after that sealing the sender does nothing.
