i've just seen a comment in a post, in this very community, saying people trust signal because of missinformation (from what i could undertand).

if this is true, then i have a few questions:

-what menssaging app should i use for secure communications? i need an app that balances simplicity and security.

-how to explain it to my friends who use signal because i recomended?

-what this means for other apps in general?

And what about suspicion of intrusions in some accounts of european imlrtznts poeple by the FSB recently ?

I don't know if it's a social ingeneering

But now, i think "good enough" attitude is not the good idéal, we are not in 2000' it's finish....

Another app exists :

Session

simpleX

Anonymous messenger

Briar

Twinme

But it' always better to use a verified and audited app, need to have a safe team
