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 agree with everything you said about signal, but i’m uncomfortable with a lot of the alternatives. a cryptographer i follow has written about a couple of these: xmpp, matrix three or four times (linked in the introduction to the post), others
