Signal haters are back. I skimmed it and didn’t see anything remotely convincing or new. I was hoping this lemmy community wouldn’t turn into quite the level of deranged conspiracy posting as the subreddit of the same name, but it looks like that may not be the case.
Signal lost my trust when they stopped updating their server side code while actively bashing other apps like Telegram for not sharing server side code.
Also the fact that Signal is not on F-Droid is highly disturbing.
The evidence is all there. It's ironic that the negative association of the word "conspiracy" was actually pushed by the CIA and their cohorts, and is used on other words too, to cause your mind to instantly recoil is disassociate yourself from it.
Just try it. Say "I'm a conspiracy theorist" out loud in front of people, and felt the fear instantly take over as you try to mentally remove yourself from it. That's called brainwashing.
But people like you do their bidding and perpetuate the weaponization of "evil" sounding words.
What a weird response, three paragraphs and absolutely 0 relevant information.
" The evidence is all there."
They aren't though.
"They aren't though"
Actually they are though.
