It seems like I constantly see “X secure messaging option is actually bullshit because it was purchased by Dr. Evil and Y is actually just e-mailing your messages directly to Xi Jinping.”
Is there an authoritatively “best” one I can just…download and setup easily? Is Signal good? Or do I need to solder a Raspberry Pi to the flux modulator of my home Linux NAS GUI, etc…?
You say it’s a “smear” but is it based in truth?
I’m certain that any worthwhile encrypted communication will be used by evil people to do evil.
That doesn’t really answer the question lol
it’s a nazi haven in the same way a public library computer is a nazi haven if nazis come in and use it. the library doesn’t check your ideology when you log on, and neither does simplex.
I suppose I was commenting on the question, not trying to answer it. I’m out of the loop, so I can’t answer it. Checked some articles and it looks like a bunch of neo-nazis switched to it.
They are also using Google, Windows, Apple, etc. so I’m not sure the question actually pertains, but I guess that’s not my concern.
Don’t need the whole SimpleX to find Nazis everywhere. X is plenty enough.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out its true.
The problem is it shouldn’t be a blight because its impossible to prevent bad actors from using an actually private and secure messaging app.
So the act of reporting on it is a smear because most don’t understand or acknowledge the impossibility of preventing those bad actors.
Nazi’s are going to go wherever they can be safe from tracking and doxxing. So obviously they’d be there.
If you think just because they are there, it is a bad platform, you may also be the same type of person that would allow law enforcement to look at your most private messages because “if you’re not breaking the law, you shouldn’t have anything to hide!”
I didn’t say or think any of that. I was asking.
