Signal has been blocked by Venezuela and Russia - Lemmy.World

> “We’re aware of reports that access to Signal has been blocked in some countries,” Signal says [https://x.com/signalapp/status/1821979304626155930]. If you are affected by the blocks, the company recommends turning on its censorship circumvention feature. (NetBlocks reports that this feature lets Signal “remain usable” in Russia.)

Client/Server apps will do that in hostile countries, that’s why people are moving to decentralized messaging platforms such as Matrix
Matrix is nice
Matrix lacks metadata encryption

And before lacked this and that. It keeps improving, contrast to Signal having the server code closed source for more than a year so the Signal devs could get a headstart and insider knowledge in their Signal-included crytpo coin grief.

How one can trust Signal after them showcasing what they truly stand for is mind blowing.

Can you please source this ?

Look into their MobileCoin and how they implemented it. They are just banking on people forgetting about it.

Anybody pulling these antics with a cryptography product loses my (and others) trust immediately. I’m a security soft dev, and my colleagues and I migrated to Element and Matrix network when it happened. I remember the disgust vividly.

Of course all od this is not going to be the Signal wikipedia page… It’s amazing how their fanbois work.

Why are you so keen on spreading misinformation around? A feature you dont like does not affect the trust in the restof the application at all. Also, the integration of MobileCoin is part of the wiki page as well.
