Hey, everyone. If you’re looking for a fresh privacy podcast, we recently started a new one called Signal Jam.
Here’s a bit about why we made Signal Jam and what we’re hoping to do differently.
We even have preliminary ways for you to participate in the project, which you can read about here.
Feel free to connect with us on Proton, Tuta, Signal, or here on Lemmy. Looking forward to your feedback and thoughts!
imo you should not promote signal, proton, or tuta for various reasons including the ones i mention in those three links.
Hey, Arthur— thanks for dropping these links. Jay and I will look at these and consider your thought process, and might reach out to follow up, if that’s okay! If I may ask, what do you prefer for email and RTC?

I think signal, proton and tuta are totally fine for most peoples threat model unless they feel they need the extra privacy.
If we want everyone to value privacy then we need to onboard them with easy to use and accessible services first and then they can take steps further if they want.
It’s difficult enough for getting people to switch from whatsapp to signal.
I don’t know how successful i’d be to get people to switch to simplex.
Is there a particular reason that you don’t recommend signal?
What alternatives would you recommend?
Matrix is open source, should give that a try,
it could be a bit more user friendly tho
The fact that Matrix was developed in Israel instantly kills it for me.
Pretty sure it was developed in germany
No Matrix was developed by Amdocs, an Israeli company. It has moved to Europe afterwards (I recall UK but might be wrong about that part)
Element is a Matrix client.
