WilfordGrimley@linux.communityto Technology@beehaw.org•Authorities urge U.S. citizens to use encrypted messaging apps to combat Chinese telco hackersEnglish6·5 months agoSignal Private Messenger is free open source, works on everything. Your grandma could use this.
I have slowly migrated all of my friends and family to this over the last few years.
All of the big ‘encrypted’ messengers like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger use the Signal Protocol under the hood but insert their own shady business and tracking defeating a lot of the purpose.
There are other perhaps more anonymous options like SimpleX or XMRchat but they are not practical nor needed for most threat models.
Matrix is not quite mature enough but is a better option than discord for gaming communities.
Signal everyday. I would not recommend Telegram. DYOR.

As a Canadian, please don’t come here (unless your reproductive rights/ bodily autonomy are under direct threat)
Sometimes I feel hopeless with our political parties and economy up here and think about moving out of country and then I remember that as a citizen I have a duty and responsibility to remain a voice of reason in my community.
As a US citizen you are afforded real rights that citizens in other countries do not have. For example: In Canada we don’t have rights, we have freedoms. Those freedoms can be suspended by the government at any time.
Be the change. Fix your system. Help turn your nation into the example for the global west that it always aspired to.
