Signal is centralized and you can't verify what is running on the server so does it really change anything? I think it doesn't, so people should stop panicking and switch to some decentralized messengers like Session instead.
THIS! We have no way of knowing what they are actually doing on their servers so I don’t 100% trust them. Maybe like 90% trust. This really doesn’t change anything.
I don't know where did you get that 90% from but IMO people shouldn't trust them at all and should use decentralized platforms instead.
Try Status instead of Session.
Fully FLOSS and their developers are not dicks who prioritize "muh dont want fixed notification" to digital rights.
I tried it in the past and I was welcomed with messages from scammers and no moderation in any groups that I saw. I may give it second chance one day though.
Session is quite new project, gains much more users then Status and thus generates more issues. If you would be a developer and you would prioritize fixing notifications that work for most users anyway over working on new open group server implementation to mitigate spam then your project wouldn't last long. As a user I would rather see no notifications than get lots of spam that would make the platform unusable.
Kek session. No thank you
Could you at least tell me any reasons why you wouldn't use Session? Nobody will take you seriously if you have no arguments to back up your statement.
