Signal massively downloaded amid rising tensions, number one in Denmark 🇩🇰 🇬🇱

@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.

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.

I just realised that you’re confusing your browser routing to SimpleX website with messaging routing via SimpleX Messaging Protocol.

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.

@derekmorr @TehAppKiller @aboutsignal can you self host it?

[derekmorr@mastodon.social]

@dallo @TehAppKiller @aboutsignal yes

@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

@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.

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

[Guest]

@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

@aboutsignal

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!

@TehAppKiller @aboutsignal

Cool. Thanks for adding useful information.

Time to end that dependency, maybe?

The governments won't do it for us.

We need to run a parallel everything.
