Thx for that explanation, I hope to god people get fried over this. The military just killed >60 civilians out of negligence. The potomac is an extremely common runway area for the reagan airport, and military planes and helicopters criss-cross it constantly.
The server is supposedly open source, but they did anger the open source community a few years back, by going a whole year without posting any code updates. Either way that's not reliable, because signal isn't self-hostable, so you have no idea what code the server is running. Never rely on someone saying "just trust us."
They have your phone number (meaning your full identity, and even current address), and as the primary identifier, it means they have message timestamps and social graphs.
Its impossible to verify what code their server is running. Or that they delete their logs, because they say they do? You should never rely on someone saying "just trust us". Truly secure systems have much harder verifiability tests to pass.
On by default, and just works.
There was also no proof that a ton of US companies were spying on their users, until the global surveillance disclosures. Crypto AG ran a honeypot that spied on communications between world leaders for > 40 years until it got exposed.
They have to. They can't route your messages otherwise.
California does not issue NSLs, the US federal government does. And those come with gag orders that means you will go to federal prison if you tell anyone that you've been asked to spy on your users.
Matrix is no more difficult to sign up on than signal, and they don't forward your information to the US government.
I can't speak about telegram, but signal is absolutely not secure to use. Its a US-based service (that must adhere to NSLs), and requires phone numbers (meaning your real identity in the US).
Matrix, XMPP, or SimpleX are all decentralized, and don't require US hosting.
His diss tracks are the best too. See Lenin - a liberal professor on equality.
Matrix, xmpp, simplex. Do not use Signal or any service with centralized servers hosted in a 5 eyes country.

There's a good episode about how they destroyed new york's neighborhoods and rebuilt it around the car: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bb1IijxVR7c
No probs!
Lemmy has nothing in its code that blocks VPNs. Unfortunately a lot of instances use cloudflare and other man-in-the-middle services that do block VPNs.
I'd like that to be the case, but nearly every US city, no matter the size, is designed for cars. And the connections between cities prioritize highways, not rail. The US might be able to adopt electric cars, but it'll never be able to create the kind of walkable, bike-friendly, public-transport focused cities, because that would entail pulling up a lot of cities and neighborhoods by the roots. Once that is built up, its nearly impossible to undo it, and your only choice is to add innefficient kludges on top.
This is why it's so crucial to do what China and a lot of Asian countries did, and priorizite metro/rail first, and not build your cities around highways.
All of these groups rule. Good taste in music
