    The reaction of users was quite predictable.

    Lets get everyone using Signal, that isn’t actually backdoored by the NSA!

      I personally use Element but I think recommending Signal is a great step forward for the average person.

        I agree the only thing with Signal is it needs a phone number, but the protocol that is solid. Its more practical to have people switch to signal from whatsapp in my opinion

        Great option. Session is even more private, but a bit laggy. What’s missing is end-to-end encrypted voip.

        Is the only advantage that you don’t need a phone number? If so, how does it compare against Wire (which is IMO a nearly perfect solution)

            Thanks, got it. Is a good idea. I’ll start following it.

            Do all the email servers have to make changes to support it? Dies the IMAP standard have to change to support it?

    Yet the entire fucking school I am in still uses it.

    Venezuelans are stupid.
