I have enough personal contacts that do use them so that they'd be personally useful if I didn't have that unbreakable obstacle. But I don't object to others choosing such end-to-end encrypted messengers over messaging apps such as (for example) #Facebook_Messenger. I personally use #Wire, #XMPP, #Matrix, and #WickrMe. (I tried #Jami, but it wasn't very usable yet; none of my contacts were willing to try #Tox or #Briar.) I've even considered getting a Google account again so I can use whatever their latest incarnation of messaging is (just because almost everyone I know has a Google account). It does bother me that Signal and Telegram and most other messaging services are centralized and non-federated. It seems we haven't learned from the 1990s & early 2000s when some friends had AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), some had MSN Messenger, some had Yahoo Messenger, some had ICQ, and a few had various other walled garden messengers (such as Excite's messenger). If I wanted to talk with all my friends, I needed to have accounts on every possible service. I should be able to communicate with my friends from whatever service I choose to use to whatever services they choose to use and not have to create accounts on every possible service. But that's a matter of educating our friends and family, not of dogmatically refusing to communicate with them on any service they might use.

lnxw48a1: So there are two big issues with #Signal that make it unsuitable. The first one is that they don't federate, so users are perpetually bound to their servers. Users may use it and enjoy it and recommend it, but if OpenWhisper Systems (or whatever their current name is) decides to close down their servers, users are screwed. Second, is that they require users' telephone numbers. https://nu.federati.net/notice/3337013

Considering getting a burner phone to temporarily sign up for #Signal and #Telegram.
lnxw48a1: @amic@nulled.red’s asked me to try #Telegram because their phone isn’t working with #Wire. Unfortunately, TG, like #Signal, requires my telephone number, so both of those are not acceptable. (Leaving aside any questions about Telegram’s ownership, integrity, financing, and encryption.)

lnxw48a1: @strypey So there's a lot to unpack in that document. The #Session onion routing protocol involves using a #blockchain called #Loki to make it difficult for an adversary to control a significant fraction of the nodes and prevent exposing the IP addresses (and therefore identities) of a user and his/her contacts to the same person or group. (As you noticed, Session is not yet us https://nu.federati.net/notice/3270942

mmn: @hishamhm And last but absolutely not least: If the user doesn't understand the concept and importance of fingerprinting, there is no security to speak of. People laud the "user friendly" interface of #Signal etc, where all of this is magically hidden, but all of a sudden someone with a similar (or visually identical through unicode etc.) identity comes along and bam - they have no idea they're getting duped.

rozzin: rozzin favorited something by mmn: @moonman The author(s) of #Conversations were the ones who appropriated (I love that word) the #Signal encryption stuff (axolotl which became "the Signal protocol" or whatever?) onto !XMPP using the pubsub XEP for public keys. So no wonder their own client supports it .) Gajim's plugin draft was written by Conversations developers too, so that was awesomely nice by them. I'm happy I have donated hard cash.

bashrc: In a sane world #Signal would already be in F-droid. Until then I guess I'll have to compile it. IMHO that's bad for security.
