I hate Twitter so much. Unless you’re logged in, you can’t even read threads anymore (unless you happen to know each individual tweet URL).
What I meant to say: Is there another source?
[Edit: the HN comments have a link to a working Nitter instance. https://nitter.poast.org/matthew_d_green/status/1789687898863792453 ]
Telegram is Russian software with company seat in Dubai… They aren’t end to end encrypted and in general have a habit of being very for profit.
The HN discussion seems to be plagued by pretty uninformed positions.
“There is no Signal fork on F-Droid”
Molly (Enhanced and security-focused fork of Signal) https://f-droid.org/packages/im.molly.app/
“Telegram is privacy-focussed”
E2e chats have to be created by long-pressing on a contact and then choosing a menu option. The default tap starts normal e2s chats. Group chats are e2s as well.
that f-droid link is 404
Well, that’s stupid. I used the F-Droid share feature. Here is a working one https://molly.im/download/fdroid/
I don’t know how much of this is directed by Kremlin. Maybe Signal is catching ground in Russia’s neighborhoods? The government-backed Telegram is losing users to Signal, maybe? Russia would want to spy on such users.
Sessions is better than both of them. Try XMPP.
