re: griping a lil :blobfrowningbig:
@mawr I've reduced my "social attack surface" greatly by refusing to use all but three of those, and I'd love to drop one of them (Telegram) but nothing else has yet gotten critical mindshare from the folks I need it for.
Should I push for Signal? Or just hide under a rock? *shrug*
re: griping a lil :blobfrowningbig:
@ElectricKeet @mawr We've been hiding under rocks. >,,> We use Matrix and XMPP and that's basically it.
of course we're probably unusual in that we son't use synchronous chat all that much – possibly /because/ of this.
re: griping a lil
@ElectricKeet I like Signal a lot and use it regularly because almost everything else on that list is in some way insecure.
