Signal is American, centralized, and requires a phone number. Use Session instead.

It’s fascinating how confidently wrong some can be.

Not a single one located in the US. Also, SimpleX is a UK based company.
This person clearly has no clue what they’re talking about. They seem to be testing how their browser routes to servers they test and confuses it with how messages are routed via messaging apps. Or confuses Whois with server location. No idea, just ignore.
Time to block them.
Hi @simplex
Could you please reply in detail to the above thread? Not for the person I was posting with—I suspect they are trolling–but for anyone else who’s reading.
Thanks!

Cool. Thanks for adding useful information.

If that is your threat model, you should be much more worried.
The internet at large is US tech.
Most content is behind CDNs from the US. Even some of the fediverse. Even some of the European Commission servers. Even some of your government services.
Beyond CDNs, all browsers are from the US.
Beyond browsers, the entirety of DNS, PKI, etc., is controlled by the US.
Banks depend entirely on the US. Even the ECB.
We are entirely US owned.
Time to wake up, maybe?
@7heo
Time to end that dependency, maybe?

I just realised that you’re confusing your browser routing to SimpleX website with messaging routing via SimpleX Messaging Protocol.
It’s like saying that my browser routes to the NHS website through US servers therefore I can’t trust my local GP.
For anyone who’s reading this thread, SimpleX Messaging Protocol works just like the Fediverse, where you chose which nodes (instances) you federate with. You can disable (defederate) the servers you choose, and only federate (or route your E2EE messages) with the ones you trust. If you want, you can completely disconnect from the whole network except your family and friends by using your own servers.
It’s also fully open source, you’re welcome to inspect the code should you wish prior to installation.
Here’s the whitepaper for anyone who’s interested:

P.S. I now muted the above person due to AI in their profile, so won’t see replies.

@aboutsignal Signal relying on USA servers, maintained by an USA foundation, presided over by an USA resident. Yeah I guess?
I still like and use Signal, but how do you plan to operate in a fascist country?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(software)@dallo Funfact: Some days ago I recommended in my local association of the SPD to use stashcat instead of Signal, because it is US-tech.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(software)@dallo @aboutsignal that's what I was thinking 🤔 why don't we use @threemaapp instead? An European solution, with servers in Europe and everything between our borders

@aboutsignal @jw Canada should do the same...

@zwol at this point I'd forego semantic, and just take easy and nice to look at. If I were writing a book today, I'd author it in Markdown, and then convert it to...whatever...for editing, or whatever at the very end. Before publishing, I ended up converting to an OpenOffice doc with the publishers template for editing, anyway (but I didn't originally write it to be published, it just worked out that way, so the OpenOffice step wasn't originally in the plans).
-
@ann3nova this is such a specific thing to obsess over, I love it. I drew my own pointers back then, and the one I used most looked pretty much like this. Same shape, but different colors.
-
@swelljoe I completely agree that it becomes tiring looking at all the tags. Not sure I've ever seen a markup language that was both semantic and pleasant to read in source form, though.

@zwol I wrote a book in Docbook (SGML first, and then converted to XML later) about 25ish years ago, with a custom vim configuration. It wasn't pleasant. Yes, the tools were bad, but also it's just really sort of tiring looking at all the tags and the processing toolchain was dire.
I was using a LaTeX-based toolchain for the PDF generation, I don't remember details, but Sebastian Rahtz was super helpful when I ran into mysterious issues.
I wouldn't do it again. Different time, different me.
-
@jannem Yeah, like, considered as a thing-in-itself apart from the tools, the major complaint I have about DocBook is that the documentation of _how to write a book using DocBook_ is inadequate.
Many people have very similar complaints about LaTeX.

@Esoteria you might be a little too young for this classic scene from "WKRP in Cincinnati".

@molly0xfff At first I thought it was about wikipedia socks, the puppet kind... lol
