My friends wanted to move off Telegram to Signal. I said sure let's move off Telegram, but let's move onto Matrix instead. Now I have to use a Matrix bridge to talk to them and I still had to install Signal lol
I mean Signal is definitely better than Telegram, but if we were going to make a move anyway, I would've preferred the one that doesn't require a phone number, or even the existence of a phone.

My whole life I kept trying to move people to the better chat program/app. It's a waste of time. Either they'll do our don't on their own time.
-
Maybe simplex or Threema for that. Matrix is like replacement of IRC

In an evil world bribery is the only way to get things done.

Nice! How were you successful?

Nice!

Maybe that's is the way... Big corporations are silently inserting their corporate dicks in our asses by convincing or bribing their way by some propaganda or some gain.

Musk once wrote “use signal.” Since I learned that I’m a bit paranoid about it.
Also it’s banned in Russia? There’s a reason.
-
Russia prefers services they can spy on.
-
If an E2E encrypted messenger is banned in a country, it is like a badge of honour I guess.

Signal vs session: which is better?
-
Afaik session's main thing is that it's like signal but without phone numbers. While there are cases where one might prefer that, the use of phone numbers does provide some benefits. It makes things simple so even my elderly parents can use it. So it's not that one approach is better, there's just different use cases

Sorry. I wish I hadn’t a few years ago. I will be looking to move to a non-Android, non-iOS phone soon so family will need another way to contact me. I can’t take a project serious that demands I use one of the corpo duopoly phones or even have a phone at all, but Signal, LINE, & a couple of other chat apps have this weird requirement.
