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?
Requires you to use a phone number, your phone app needs to be online 24/7 to be connected, and hosted in a questionable jurisdiction with questionable human rights. Try Matrix. It's selfhostable, doesn't need a phone number to sign up and the foundation is British, which while this country from what I know has gone down the water, they still have some niceities from time they were in the EU, like GDPR.
I don't know what the current reputation is but Matrix wasn't always perfectly trustworthy either: https://hackea.org/notas/matrix.html
