  • How is the privacy questionable?

    It’s one of the more secure clients. It has E2E across everything: DMs, Group chats, phone calls, video calls and all.

    In contrast, Telegram, which is often championed doesn’t even support E2E for group chats. Laughable.

    Yes, Whatsapp does some on-device analytics for advertising purposes, but your message is always E2E encrypted before sending.

    They had multiple 3P audits to prove it.

    Some delusional people use Facebook messenger instead claiming both are FB anyway. NO. FB messenger doesn’t have any encryption. Your messages are stored in plain text.

    Yes, Signal and Matrix etc. are better, but no one is using them and that goes against the very idea of communication.










  • People are going the reddit hivemind again in lemmy.

    Just repeating in echo chambers without rationale.

    If you look at my history, I’ve been trying to get some useful information regarding Threads, but have received much less useful comments than I would even receive on reddit.

    Personally, I’d really like to access to Threads from my anonymous account on another instance, since Threads account is strictly tied to an Instagram account.

    I guess it’s the nature of social media nowadays. Lots of noise, very little actual signal.
