Link to article from main Lemmy❤️ developer about Signal privacy. Mostly fair points. I kinda distrust so centralized services but basically we have no other options (Matrix is buggy in many aspects). What can you say about this article?

    One important thing to keep in mind is that Signal is for private not anonymous communication.

      Though it is REALLY hard to get the data of what was sent, or who it was sent to, as they’d have to get inside your pc, log in, unlock signal and hope you don’t have disappearing messages.

        Except you installed Signal on your PC, if not encrypted, its pretty easy to get all messages that are synced from the day you setup the sync with your phone.

        Except you use a Luks encrypted device or somethinf similar. Bitlocker failed way too many times in history to be actually secure.
