Thanks. I’m surprised about YouTube not taking down the video to be honest. xD
By the way, invidious onion link: http://c7hqkpkpemu6e7emz5b4vyz7idjgdvgaaa3dyimmeojqbgpea3xqjoid.onion/watch?v=W5HFkF6U1Kg
I would not consider Matrix an alternatdve to Signal. The Matrix protocol is messy and I had a lot of " matrix moments™" (even with that I still use it and prefer it over Discord, or other glowy apps.).
XMPP with omemo is great, no need for a phone number and decentralised. I like it.
(I think that I heard somewhere about the signal protocol on XMPP or something like that. Which, in my opinion could be the best of both worlds.)
Explain.
What I mean is that obviusly is not as battle tested as PGP/GPG
since is not that old and it’s not as spread as it, now.
But PGP is extremely complicated, overextended, with terrible defaults and backwards compatability with some stuff from the stone age.
The de facto implementation is also quite bad.
As I still have to use PGP for some things (sadly) I use a better implementation: sequoia-pgp
I reccomend it. https://sequoia-pgp.org
Signal is far from being perfect. And I would love a decentralised (p2p/federated) chat protocol implementing the Signal protocol. At the time being their protocol is best, we may question their main server and some of their practices, but at the time being I couldn’t find anything better.
SIgnal is just as bad as insecure western social medias.
Hmmm… I don’t think so.
Why do so many crypto bros favor Signal?
I’m not a cryptobro. :c
I’ll ask this again: Is age and signify battle tested?
Their as not as old and extended as PGP but their are based on solid cryptography.
There was a really good article about why pgp
/gpg
is a pice of radioactive waste that should be avoided at all costs. Both the standard and the de facto implementation.
Sadly I don’t have the link with me rn. Let me search it.
Edit: here’s the link https://latacora.micro.blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem.html
Also, use age & signify over pgp.
It’s true! Sometimes the internet seams really smoll.
