Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
SimpleX is not suitable for larger group chats.
XMPP has a few quite popular privacy related public channels: https://search.jabber.network/search?q=privacy
(For those unaware: xmpp participant counts are actively connected users, not like Matrix or Discord that counts who ever joined the room years ago and never came back).
Define larger groups because I know for a fact that it can do chats of up to at least 1,000 people because I'm in two group chats that have that many on SimpleX.
I joined Privacy and Security
There is! But it's only in signal
https://signal.group/#CjQKIHz1nRRy26gCZcromKG8XxWYHI4RG0yU1O5tcUXYD01hEhC3qBYTGxw4WDhXshwQc8TA
I joined there.
Why is this not linked in the sidebar?
edit: No matter what one thinks about the privacy aspects of Signal: If its an official discussion group of this community it should be in the sidebar - just like the Discord group. I therefore assume it's unofficial or maybe not even related to this comunity?
IMO because it’s a Signal group and you can’t separate user profiles and have to register with a phone number (yeah I know I know you have a username now). Some people including me won’t join therefore
Don't want to Signal with randoz
Because Signal does not fully respect your privacy.
If by that you mean the Unix time, then yeah, but There has been documents showing that Signal doesn't store sensitive plaintext data.
They force you to give them your phone number. No phone number = not allowed to use Signal. Plus, Signal uses servers from Big Tech (just search for it on reddit).
XMPP (mainly Snikket) is the best lightweight option.
