I do not see why everyone wants to deny this and trust big tech. After you lot completely brainwashed?? Assume the worst, that malicious applications are recording both your microphone and your camera, and do the best you can. Anyone even taking Meta’s/Google’s side here is absurd to me.
Yes, it is unfortunate that forward secrecy is missing from all of these. Is there any encryption mechanism for text which maintains PFS? I haven’t tried AGE personally.
Haha takes me back, the bots. IRC was much prevalent back then, I suppose I’m just nostalgic. I won’t argue against Matrix.
Thanks, so we’re on the same page.
Edit: there seems to be some work going into PFS
I admit that is inherently an insecure form of communication. I don’t see a problem if you’re using PGP though. And at least IRC can be self hosted. I suppose one can use a private Matrix instance too.
What problems are you having in signing up for IRC? Just use a client for your OS? I didn’t find it especially hard when I did it, I’m part of a few channels for Linux. Just treat it like you treat any group chat. If there’s bots there will also likely be a page with instructions/wiki
Unless you’re using PGP on Discord and Slack too I don’t understand how you’re not disgusted by them.
Please explain how a properly set up IRC server is awful. If you find the time also contrast it with the more “modern” solutions like Discord and Slack
Sorry, but the more private messaging apps just aren’t there as commercial data hoggers. If you absolutely need stickers and perfect material you and other features, just use WhatsApp and train your family members to use PGP on Android. Maintain a secondary identity for sensitive stuff with SimpleX/Briar
Wait what?
They’re trying to be Fairphone-lite?
How do you think your friend in the woods got the advertisements?
And yes, I still think you’re too trusting of Big Tech. They are 100 times more vile than you think they are. THEY WILL do everything they can, and this is nothing to them.
The funny part is nobody wants to believe me and instead want to trust for-profit companies for their supposed pinkie-promises. Oh well, they’ll learn in time.
