@dazo @MarionDonnelly @murena @e_mydata @red_rooster @georgetakei not to mention #Apple is not only capable but willing to shove in #Govware #Backdoors.
So their claims re: #privacy and #security are "#TrustMeBro!" at best if not blatant lies.
Remember: #AllGAFAMsAreBad and #KerckhoffsPrinciple demands #transparency!
@europesays why would anyone want #Shitcoins that combine the #disadvantages of #fiat and #cryptocurrencies without any redeeming qualities?
So why would anyone want that instead of #Monero???
@phreaknerd @melsdung @nocci bis darauf dass #Signal auch unter #CloudAct fällt und genauso zentralisiert ist wie #Telegram und genauso #TrustMeBro in Sachen Nicht-Kooperation agiert...
@pixelcode @taylan that is simply not true.
@signalapp is #centralized and there's no way one can verify the code released for the servers is what they actually run.
Unlike your replies my criticisms ain't founded based off "#TrustMeBro!" but systemic issues I highlight which #Signal refuses to address or take seriously!
@Catwoman69y2k @dragonfriend most importantly:
Only with #SelfCustody of all the keys, #SelfHosting of the entire infrastructure and everything being #OpenSource, one can assure (and [let it be] audit[ed] independently) that the #advertised #promises are in fact true.
Cuz not expecting @Mer__edith to break is the same level of "#TrustMeBro!" assurances as #ANØM, #EncroChat, #SkyECC, #WhatsApp etc. do in their #advetising #lies!
#whatsapp is getting real desperate now texting all users in the Netherlands the equivalent of #trustmebro.
I actually do believe WhatsApp to be #e2ee but that is not the criticism. WhatsApp has access to your #metadata and can see who and when you are messaging and for example has access to your profile picture, and names of the groups you are in.
@ckrypto if@signalapp@mastodon.world wasn't complying with #CloudAct, @Mer__edith would be in jail.
Not to mention even if Signal keeps their "#OpenSource" code updated - which is doubtful, NOONE can actually #verify that it's the code you actually use - regardless if #backend / #Server or #client / #App!
Also if Signal was designed for #security, it would've been #decentralized as #XMPP+#OMEMO and not demand #PII like #PhoneNumbers which oftentimes cannot be obtained anonymously in many juristictions at all!
By comparison, @delta doesn't require any PII, only an #eMail account, and @monocles isn't a #VCmoneyBurningParty but sustainable due to #subscription and they don't even require any personal details for #payment: #CashByMail and #Monero are accepted.
Again: It's Signal alone who have to evidence they are trustworthy, and all I get are "#TrustMeBro!" replies, which means they are not to be trusted.
Whereas with #XMPP I can completely setup my own server and client, even build my own if I don't trust anyone else and pay someone to audit the code.
Whereas with XMPP & PGP/MIME #eMail I can layer @torproject / #Tor over it, make it an #OnionService and keep that thing under my bed with a literal killswitch...
another day another $50 million crypto theft involving a stablecoin even i have never heard of called #0xinfini.
will it be #NorthKorea this time? (it's usually North Korea, an inside job, or a "highly profitable trading strategy")
the project devs have tweeted to assure their users that everything will be fine bc "trust me bro", but only from their personal accounts. there is no acknowledgement of the theft on the official 0xInfini X account.
somewhat hilariously the "project" tweeted a self congratulations about reaching $50 million in deposits just yesterday. 100% of that is gone now.

@sparfindig @silvan @nakal @kuketzblog Dann habt ihr halt ne höhere Tolerabz zu "#TrustMeBro!" als es rational wäre..
@compl4xx @Layer8 @nick @kuketzblog @marcel @mspro
Meine Rede...
Oder um es einfach zu erklären: Warum gibt es #HTTP(S) & #HTML sowie #eMail ( #IMAP & #SMTP) bis heute und keiner nutzt mehr #AOL, #MSN, #ICQ?
Wenn @signalapp / #Signal wegen #CloudAct geflipped wird wie #EncroChat, #ANØM & #SkyECC dann stehen Leute alternativlos in der shice ubd die ganzen "Sicherheitsversprechen" lösen sich in "#TrustMeBro!" und #Lügen auf.
Ich nutze meinen XMPP-Account seit Ewigkeiten und habe drölfzig Clients durch. Aber Kontakte erreichen mich darüber Problemlos!
@silvan @nakal @kuketzblog #Threema hat dieselben Probleme wie #EncroChat, #SkyECC & #ANØM:
@ck @lk108 @kuketzblog Ich halte die #Sicherheitsversprechen von #Signal für "#TrustMeBro"-#Werbelügen alla #WhatsApp!
Wer Leuten eine anonym registrierte (e)SIM [aus dem Ausland] beschaffen kann, kann Leuten auch nen @monocles / #MonoclesStarter - Account für €2 p.m. aufsetzen und betreiben: Ne ALDI TALK -#SIM aktiviert halten kostet mehr!
@ck @sven222 @kuketzblog problem is @signalapp is a #Centralized, #Proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solution that falls under #CloudAct and demands #PII in the form of #PhoneNumbers.
Cuz all the #advertising of Signal is close to #TrustMeBro and I'd not trust in @Mer__edith to risk jail for users!
@dbrgn @bastibayer es ist ein "#TrustMeBro" - Modell weil deren #Server sind #zentralisiert und damit #SinglePointOfFailure.
jabber.ccc.de down sind, aber dies nicht die generelle Verfügbarkeit jener Lösung sicherstellt.Ich betrachte etwas nur als #offen und #sicher wenn es komplett #dezentralisiert und ohne Möglichkeit der externen Angriffe gibt.
Zumal es mangels #ReproduzierbarerBuilds nicht möglich ist zu verifizieren ob der veröffentlichte #Quellcode von #Threema das ist was die per #AppStore & #GooglePlay verteilen.
#PSA for all the drivers out there in the #GTA
If you have #wintertires on, you're pretty much invincible so you can zoom past those slow, overly cautious drivers.
@samueljohn @ditol @linuzifer @Mer__edith @signalapp I disagree cuz in both cases they demand #PII for no legitimate reason AND they are still #centralized, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solutions where #Security is "#TrustMeBro!" level re: #Backend!
Seriously, it's 2024 and there's no valid reason to not use like @monocles / #monoclesChat + @torproject / #Orbot & @tails_live / @tails / #Tails + @gajim / #Gajim for #secure & #anonymous #comms!
@marcan The fact that they demand #PII like a #PhoneNumber completely disqualifies them - if not the fact that it's a #proprietary, #centralized, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solution with it's #Security level being "#TrustMeBro!"...
