Free speech readings, increasing! Liberty levels, maximum! Freedom metrics, exploding!!! IMA BUSSSS!!!!.....oh nvm, the techno-fascist douchebag was a lying hypocrite the whole time.
And yet, sadly, there are only like 5 people in my entire contact list who use it.
What a shame...
Isn't Signal still centralised? Why use it over Matrix? (genuine question)
You use Simplex over Signal for improved privacy and no identifiers, not Matrix.
Signal is still very good though.
I think SimpleX is the currently the best chat app, with potential to be much more.
It's more private and secure, and it's easier to use/recommend.
Matrix stores all metadata, and most all of it makes it's way to the matrix.org (default instance) server and is subject to dragnet subpoenas. It's also complicated to use, incredibly slow, and resource-intensive.

should be a lesson to those excited about iphones using starlink
most likely a spam detection issue.
I wish europe banned anhy of the american social media, my applications would finally have a chance. But europeans won't do that because they are huge pussies when it comes to americans. Unlike the chinese who created a whole internet universe for themselves, and they don't even bother translating it to english anymore
What don't they block? But that's not unique either. I could not put the word Signal into my WhatsApp status before deleting the app.
🤦♂️
I hope Signal doesnt end up getting outlawed in the US. Elon musk seems to be against it now, and he has a lot of power these days.
