I immediately uninstalled WhatsApp when it refused to work without being able to read all of my contacts, am I just being overly paranoid?

my friends use telegram for groups. it works fine. i dont trust it for private chats so if thats needed i just move to signal. telegram has annoying issues when you merge it with phone contacts and use the web interface tho

joke's on them though, my contacts are 99% this garbled garbage data that got written to it by a hosed up buggy plugin i used a while ago and which i can't ever seem to remove because everything that's imported my contacts keeps putting it back and then it gets back-imported into other poo poo and ugh

cinci zoo sniper posted:on that note, apparently russian linux community has some homegrown messenger that needs in-person meeting with mutual qr code scanning to add someone to your contacts. signal has a thing like this but it'd be after creating the conversation: "show safety number" in convo details and compare QR codes

that's from the original redphone/textsecure implementation where it was more exposed and before qr comparison was added as a feature

i love weird little cargo-cult security stuff average people do, like how she changed passwords in an incognito window because that makes it More Security i guess?

Everyone knows that incognito leaves no traces on your computer and means you can’t be tracked! Why would you change your password where it can be tracked.

chrome doesn't pop up that thing asking to save your password in incognito mode so that's probably why someone thinks it's more secure

cinci zoo sniper posted:what was thread consensus on telegram? im trying it out as a whatsapp replacement for sending cat photos to relatives and stupid jokes to friends and it seems ok + im happy to share less with facebook even if that means sharing more with less overreaching vk/kgb/whatever whatsapp is definitely more kgb secure than telegram if only because telegram doesn’t encrypt chats by default

poc||gtfo is good but it’s not going to tell you like the current state of encryption or whatever. for that kind of stuff you’re better off reading krebs or schneier

i am in the good position of everyone who i talk to either using imessage, which is good enough for most things, or using anroid without any other messageing apps which they have already set to take over incomign SMS/MMS and if people are exclusivily using plain texts with default texting apps on anroid, i have found it a very easy sell to say "just use signal instead for all of your texting, its probably legitimately nicer to use than the messaging app on your phone, and it sends in a better encrypted way if the person youre texting also uses signal otherwise it just sends a plain text, so its really a pure upgrade without you having to know or do or care about anything"
