Signal is just a messaging app, and worst of all to a ton of people you have to share your phone number, something that is kinda intimate and you might only share it among the closer people in your friend group, even when signal launches usernames unless it builds something around signal it’s just another annoying messaging app to keep track of.
as a gen zer myself I would follow it up with WHY? give me a reason WHY. I don’t really see a difference between instagram groups and signal groups. I think what it is for most people is some lame app they will download for only that specific purpose. The only reason why iMessage is popular is it’s the default. If the EU passed a regulation to force Apple to have a default messager that only supported SMS, and iMessage to be a separate appstore app, or even just an extension for the messages app. it would die within a year. Meta groups are only popular cause they are tired to 2 of the biggest social platform being facebook and instagram.

12·2 years agoUgh I always knew the college board was sketchy, this is a whole different level of exploitation.
I use it, and never really had issues with it. It was pretty reliable.

5·2 years agolmao, NO. also some of the richest people are lazy AF and sit on Twitter all day bitching about queer people existing. I am sorry but poor people work the hardest for the least amount of income.

I don’t really trust non Foss messaging services, I rather manually bridge everything into matrix
I am not like suggesting you bring an iPad, but I am suggesting you bring your own device to class whatever that might be.
skymtf@pricefield.orgOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Why is CalyxOS consider more private than Graphine, but Graphine is more secure?
0·2 years agoYeah the project has continued without him, And yeah running Google Apps is likely less private but considering I use proprietary apps like discord regularly I feel like Google and people are getting more and more of my data anyway.
Hmmm not sure if its any different now but I used to bring my own iPad mini and do my work on that. I’m sure its different now.
Honestly I hate free speech absolutism on my feed. My argument honestly is decentralization is free speech to the high level, but I also have the free will to block you or join an instance that blocks you

1·2 years agoUgh “free speech” IE you can debate random trans people just trying to live their lives. Twitter always had some level of free speech. Neat though that anonymous login kinda works!

0·2 years agoI use simple SMS anyway, I honestly would love to see a modern dailer for degoogled android. I wonder if we could get the little verified caller checkmarks on a Foss dailer app

0·2 years agoIs it only a matter of time until they scan packets with DPS to find encryption and send the police hit squad to your house
