       Only available desktop application is Electron basedDoesn't even allow you to share message history between desktop and Android.Why do people defend Signal again?

       @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo despite the shitty aspects of their technology they're still genuinely a world leader in privacy preserving messaging protocols tbh

       @froge@social.glitched.systems Privacy preserving? Their default Android app requires Google Play Services. I don't trust them to respect my privacy at all.

       @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo yeah, and they still require phone numbers for signs ups which is dumb garbage, but they also literally invented the double ratchet encryption algorithm for instant messaging, they implemented sealed sender for hiding user metadata, and in various ways have done legitimate research on defending against online surveillanceyou win some and lose some, Moxie isn't a perfect human being, but signal keeps getting recommended because it's genuinely doing better than 90% of other messaging platforms out there in terms of privacy for their users, even if it does have dumb shit like google play integration still

       @froge@social.glitched.systems It doesn't matter if they do research to write up the most secops larper masturbation material security model that only works on paper, it's entirely nullified if their app is backdoored by proprietary software that can not be trusted.

       @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo you should go use something with objectively worse encryption and security then, nobody is stopping you from making dumb choices because you don't like the way Signal worksbut everyone else will still recommend it because their tech is good, you shouldn't be confused about that LOL

       @froge@social.glitched.systems But their tech is horrible and super inconvenient.
