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?


I’m put off by the centralized server. I’d want to self host without having to build a special client, something like nextcloud. That the company chose to prevent that gives me a bad impression. So I haven’t been using it so far.
I’ve played with GNU Jami a little but it was flaky when I tried it last year. Maybe it’s better now.
