That’s a very wrong statement.
Firstly, you can run SimpleX on your own VPS or on a server in your own house.
Secondly, SimpleX uses decentralised infrastructure that consists of user-operated nodes, similar to Tor or Fediverse, and it’s spread out throughout the world.
Lastly, when using SimpleX, you can choose which individual servers you want your messages to be routed through, so you can disable any nodes you wish. The only servers I use are all EU based.
@RaffKarva @alexblock all existing server are in the US so the "could" is not valid.
Since default are powerfull that mean that 99% of user are using US only server.
So your statement is unwise.
-
@RaffKarva @alexblock simplex is controlled by US server, https://bgp.tools/dns/simplex.chat, https://bgp.tools/dns/simplex.im, https://bgp.tools/dns/simplexonflux.com
so we cannot trust them
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 connection to NHS website routes through US servers so 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.

@jztusk @TehAppKiller @aboutsignal We use this:
It works superbly. Unfortunately, owned by zoom.
@MarvinFreeman ... Zoom is a US company 🤔

Give better alternatives

@TehAppKiller @aboutsignal this is not true. Signal's server is open source. Signal does not control user encryption keys. Signal does not store user contacts. Signal backups are encrypted.
@derekmorr @TehAppKiller @aboutsignal can you self host it?

@RaffKarva @alexblock no i'm not "confused" it tried EVERY single public server and THEY ALL use US routing.
So no i'm not "confused", having EU server (physically), but relying on US Company is enven more dumb, because cloud act mean EU server by US company = US server
-
@lucien_pca @aboutsignal it's why i have installed the 2 apps, @delta@chaos.scial and @session
Also i would recommend you to move out of mastodon.social to an EU server of mastodon (like mine), because mastodon.social use US CDN and US DNS, so a US cut will cut you out of their server.
if you want to know witch country a website use go to : https://bgp.tools/ put the url in start here, click on the button and you will see to the right of the IP the flags of the country
@lexinova @lucien_pca @aboutsignal @session Hello, Signal is having a moment and someone has just claimed they’d seized this opportunity to switch from WhatsApp.
Just as a reminder, WhatsApp is deeply intertwined within the military-industrial complex. This isn’t just about resilience in case of a US embargo, but about withdrawing your support from a company willfully and actively enabling this political crisis.
Speaking as a huge decentralization nerd: Signal rocks, and there’s no serious EU-based Signal alternative. Delta is OpenPGP-based and Session depends on a cryptocurrency token so they’re both striked out on any ground you’d wish to use Signal for.
As a matter of fact my partner and I plan to self-host email infrastructure, several Bonfire instances, and a Cwtch server, for several organizations. As a sociology student I have a legit resume based on my own personal self-hosting projects, and I’m not wishing that to anyone else. We still praise the Signal Foundation’s work.

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.

@RaffKarva @alexblock it seem you simply read the doc and do not try the simple dns resolution of the server used, since you still spead BS i will simply block you bye

@oceane @lucien_pca @aboutsignal @session Signal is an insecure crap if you use it on anything else than mobile.
And even worse, they actively feed the pedophile administration and fascist economy, so no they don't rock they PAY people to help KILL other.
Signal is not to praise but to destroy.
i will block you as pro wars, and pro killing bye dear monster

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

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?

*Il CEO di Palantir fa una scioccante confessione sull'interruzione del potere democratico *
Il CEO di Palantir, Alex Karp, ritiene che la sua tecnologia di intelligenza artificiale ridurrà il potere degli "elettori altamente istruiti, spesso donne, che votano per lo più per i democratici", aumentando al contempo il potere degli uomini della classe operaia.

Algoritmi e strutture dati in TypeScript – Libro gratuito, ~400 pagine
Questo libro nasce da una semplice osservazione: la maggior parte degli ingegneri del software utilizza algoritmi e strutture dati quotidianamente, eppure molti non ne conoscono a fondo i fondamenti. Possono usare una mappa hash o chiamare una funzione di ordinamento senza comprenderne appieno le garanzie, oppure possono avere difficoltà quando un problema richiede la progettazione di un nuovo algoritmo da zero. Allo stesso tempo, gli studenti di informatica spesso si imbattono negli algoritmi in un contesto altamente teorico che può sembrare scollegato dal codice che scrivono nella pratica.

Cadice, Jerez, Gibilterra: la speranza è tanta: potrò vivere qui?
Anche l'episodio 17 di "Verso Casa" è finalmente qui nel Fediverso!
E' l'episodio in cui continuo l'esplorazione dell'Andalusia e di Gibilterra, per trovare un posto, uno di quelli speciali, dove il dolore si placa e la mente può ragionare più lucidamente; dove la gioia riaffiora, e io torno ad essere me stesso. Un posto dove il cuore vuole stare. Sarà Cadice, Jerez o Gibilterra?

La battuta deriva dall'infelice titolo dell'Unione Sarda. Titoli del tipo "sorpresa nel cantiere..." di solito si riferiscono a casi di ladruncoli che si introducono nei cantieri per fregare rame, ferro o materiale edile :-D
