Signal Contingency Plan
signal-contingency-plan.info

Do you use Signal for chatting securely with friends and loved ones? Us too! We endorse it wholeheartedly, and rely on it for nearly all our communication.

But the vibes are deteriorating here in the US, and we should have a communications contingency plan for if Signal goes down.

    How well does matrix hold up in comparison to Session or SimpleX? Maybe i have been living under a rock, but i did not hear much about them.

      I moved away from it because:

      • Too hard for normals (I know, but they won’t use it and what good is a chat app without contacts)
      • Pisses metadata to any server you federate with
      • Including matrix [.] org which as the “main instance” you almost have yo federate with, which is owned by The Matrix Foundation, which started as a project at Amdocs before breaking off, which is a Mossad affiliated company that infiltrated American telcom networks long ago, which I don’t find particularly trustworthy to have had any involvement with a secure messaging app that pisses metadata that Mossad “totally isn’t” spying on (I have no proof but you don’t either). They may not be, but it’s too close for comfort.
      • In the public rooms there’s a CP problem. Can’t recommend that shit to friends/family I’ll look like a goddamn pedo if they see someone post that before it gets removed/banned. Not fair but it is what it is.

      It’s a fine alternative. While not super secure it is decentralized which is nice.

      The biggest problem I think is that it isn’t very easy to use, I think it’s a better replacement for discord rather than instant messages.
