What he did with messaging... So he will centralize all of it with known broken SGX metadata protections, weak supply chain integrity, and a mandate everyone supply their phone numbers and agree to Apple or Google terms of service to use it?

Do you know a better alternative that I can get my elderly parents and non-technical friends to use? I haven’t come across one and from my amateur POV it seems much better than WhatsApp or Telegram.

Matrix.

It's totally comments of people using Telegram.

It's just people having zero product sense, or an idea of what it means to target more than 0.01% of the market. The last comment said that Signal's problem is that it's mobile-first, which, how does someone even think that a messaging app should be anything other than mobile-first?

Having Google and Apple apps is fine. Having that be the only option, and the recommended option for high risk use cases is unforgivable.

There's FHE, but that's probably an even more difficult technical challenge than doing everything locally

FHE is impossible. You cannot expect to compete on 100x more cost for the same service you provide (and there is no design for accelerated hardware (Tensor Core) on FHE).

Only 100x the cost? Really? Can you cite a reference how you get it that cheap?

Those aren't the only two options. You can buy a non-Google Android phone and install the APK on it.

Does anyone actually think that’s his real name?

I'm sure some people who don't realise it's a pseudonym do? Sounds like you're one of them.

Lol, why are you so mad? My while point is that he doesn’t reveal his actual name.

Oh man, I didn't think I'll actually see a reply with "u mad bro?" on this site. Anyway, good luck with your endeavors.

How do I run Signal on my Librem 5?

You write an OS/2 emulator for it and use the OS/2 version of Signal, of course. How else?

XMPP, as Matrix is pretty much centralized, unless you're fortunate enough to register outside of matrix.org. Both xmpp.org and jabber.org is no longer open for registration.

Hey, not my problem if you can’t take a few seconds to understand what people are writing.
