Content warning: Rant re: Signal Shills being dangerous Tech Illiterates
Seriously, #Signal fans are just #cultists who are unwilling to even consider the possibility that @signalapp as a #VCmoneyBurningParty isn't sustainable or that @Mer__edith and her predecessor, #Shitcoin-#Scam - shilling #CryptoBro #Moxie ain't their best friends and would happily risk jail for them.
- I may sound like Hans Bühler at this point, but Signal has a stench that is very much reminiscent of #ANØM & #CryptoAG!
I #ToldYaSo and when the evidence is there, I do expect public apologies from every single one of you shills that live on a "#TrustMeBro!" mentality believing every advertising lie!
- Teach kids proper #TechLiteracy instead and get gud at it. Do a @cryptoparty@mastodon.earth / @cryptoparty@chaos.social / #CryptoParty and use real #E2EE like #PGP/MIME & #XMPP+#OMEMO FFS!
If Signal was actually secure, it would be used by every single "Darknet Drug Lord"!
- But guess why they'd rather teach stuff like #OfflinePGP method instead?
Because #ComSec requires #OpSec, #InfoSec & #ITsec!
So, you want to be a darknet drug lord... : nachash@observers.net : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

NO, YOU CANNOT USE @[url=https://mastodon.world/users/signalapp]Signal[/url] WITHOUT A PHONE NUMBER!!! *They still require a phone number as they still do restrict the functionality of their App based off the phone number given!
Also we've all seen that #centralized, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solutions are inherently bad - so why should anyone use #Signal over #XMPP+#OMEMO or XMPP+#PGP/MIME ???
#Signal, like every provider in the #USA, is subject to #CloudAct ** and will obviously hand over the #metadata they collected without legitimate interest if told to do so. ***
After all, clients like @monocles ' #monoclesChat **** make XMPP w/ OMEMO and PGP/MIME extremely user-friendly...
Im many juristictions, you cannot legally obtain an anonymous prepaid SIM legally! *****

in reply to Kevin Karhan :verified: • • •The only ones, who are cultists, are those, who claim random BS without evidence, and include a million hashtags in their posts in order to get a tiny bit of attention for their conspiracy theories.
Why do you sound like such a whiny loser in all of your posts? 😂 This is ridiculous

Call me paranoid, but so far I've always been right when it counts.
That's why #Dezentralization is important.

And if #EncroChat got pwned, who's gonna guarantee @signalapp won't if it's actually secure or isn't an #InsideJob like #ANØM.
After all, both #Signal's Organization and key people like @Mer__edith are known to the authorities by more than just their legal name.
After all, Signal can't pull the 5th and refuse to comply!

in reply to adison verlice • • •yeah, @signalapp pushing a #Shitcoin-#Scam called #MobileCoin should already discredit them.
Anything else is just #Shitcoins!

in reply to Kevin Karhan :verified: • • •but yeah they could (and should) just entigrate monero rather than whatever it is they've got now

in reply to Kevin Karhan :verified: • • •personally, I think @signalapp should not have integrated any #wallet or #cryptocurrency at all and instead not eben request #PhoneNumbers (which are #PII) and move tueir system onto #Tor and have their endpoints as #OnionServce, because being a #PaymentProcessor (and lets be honest #MobileCoin got pitched for #payments) is at best a "legal nightmare" if not a straight-up "You go to Jail!"-card as a matter f principle!
Anyone who wants to coordinate #payments and #finance can do so with external wallets like #FeatherWallet anyway.

in reply to Kevin Karhan :verified: • • •sure, they don't collect nearly as much information as Whatsapp, but I wouldn't consider it "privacy friendly" either. you're right phone numbers are PII.
I think if I wanted "private' messaging, I'd either use session or briar
Kevin Karhan :verified:
in reply to adison verlice • • •@adisonverlice I think that's dangerous disinfo as @torproject actively works against attempts to fingerprint and track #Tor users.
In fact, Tor has been designed with the explicit goal to circumvent #Firewalls and #InternetCensorship methods like #DeepApcketInspection.
As a matter of principle I'd never vouch for any #centralized, #SingleVendor and/or #SingleProvider solution of any kind, including #Session.
