    One of my biggest hang-ups in life, and I’m old enough that wisdom and experience should carry me through it. Hasn’t happened yet.

    Lots of platitudes address it, but platitudes are only true when viewed from the other side of things, not within the thick of it.






  • I was not suggesting that the encryption was compromised. I was suggesting that signal is being targeted.

    Likely, they are infiltrating Signal groups specifically. Not through breaking encryption, but still joining these groups BECAUSE of the encryption.

    The fact that these groups are using private encrypted messages are what piques the interest of the FBI in the first place. Signal is just the most popular and thus the most likely target.




  • I honestly like the small, eclectic vibe better.

    I don’t know what the number is, but I’ll arbitrarily say, anywhere under a quarter million is perfect.

    I know the federation model provides a strength against the cascading list negatives that plague popular platforms, but I don’t doubt that with a large enough user base, exploits would certainly seep in, particularly with ease of AI bot manipulation and astroturfing.

    It reminds me of the Linux saying “security through obscurity”.
