Proton is vibe coding some of it's apps.

Um, it’s a public repository. You can view the code that’s been added. Even if it IS AI generated, you can review it yourself.

I’m as anti-AI as anyone but this is misplaced AI-alarmism.

Probably anti-Proton. I’m no conspiracy theorist, but the amount of pro BlueSky, anti Proton, anti Signal people I see on Lemmy make me wonder sometimes.

Proton CEO did it to the company...

Signal requires a phone number... If you don't see an issue with that... Then you live in a better place than the rest of us. I am happy for you.

for private communication Signal is the gold standard lol

Not everyone needs shitty xmpp extensions, Matrix that lacks PFS and is enshitiffying as we speak (I say as an avid user) or overkill like Simple X or Briar.

Sure... But you are also feeding NSA meta data on your communications which is whatever I guess for most people but I don't like it
I seem to be misinformed. Signals architecture is explicitly designed in a way to minimise metadata as much as possible. You can look up the data they had to hand over due to lawsuits, it was absolutely minimal

minimise

Just enough, just enough

Download portmaster and review signal connections ;)

I know that Signal runs on US cloud infrastructure (like AWS IRRC)

Doesn’t change a thing about it’s security or what they had to disclose to authorities

There is such thing like national security laws.

So you don't know shit.

If they are told to log, they will log. And there is enough meta data leakage to create heat map of your contacts

I know that Signal runs on US cloud infrastructure

And only that one.

Signal dev is quite adamant on not letting people have their own servers, select a EU provider (yeah, EU is nazifying, but at least it’s a large enough second-hand basket) or host the (suppossedly zero-knowledge) messages on one’s own infrastructure. I’d say that’s curious.

First - I’m not sure Sealed Sender would help against the server being changed to be actively malicious and trying to build social graphs. Second - even metadata concerns aside, a centralized system is just not resilient. Proposals like Chat Control are A LOT more easily enforceable with them than with tiny selfhosted servers.
