     What's the drama about? I've never bought that signal isn't a honey pot. I just assume that any centralized service pushed en masse to the normies and normalized on iOS and Android is fake until proven gay.

     @sun @graf It’s not an easy pill to swallow that everyone in power everywhere hates you and wants you to die.

     There is no sanctuary.

     I never understood the hype around that movie with Hugo Weaving and that mask. I tried watching it a couple times because I thought it was supposed to be some super cool anti establishment movie or something, but I just couldn’t get into it and I thought it was lame.

     @grizzlywhisker @graf the comic is still pretty reflexively left wing but it's enjoyable. I think it was basically written as a response to Thatcher.

     Yeah the movie was hot garbage as far as I'm concerned, I tried to watch it a couple times and turned it off like halfway into the movie both times because it sucked. I never understood why it was such a popular thing, is the comic that much better?

     @istvan @Zergling_man @graf IMO this is somewhat correct. My guess is that Signal *is* secure, but that a 5-eyes member put OS-level malware on 'ol Tuck's phone.

     That's far more likely (and would result in feds reading his messages) than somehow intercepting and decrypting Signal messages themselves.

     @Zergling_man @graf Plot twist.

     Signal is actually secure.

     Known CIA asset Tucker Carlson saying his messages were being read was more of the plot to scare people away from it.

     @eriner @istvan @graf @Zergling_man it's interesting but not surprising that almost nobody in the infosec community cared enough to write about that the us gov was planting malware on us journalists phones and using it against them.

     @eriner @istvan @graf @Zergling_man I quit going to DEF-CON last several years. Just not the same. The good ones are out there but they're spread across a thousand private DM groups.

     @sun @istvan @graf @Zergling_man

     > the infosec community

     That's because punk hacker culture died in the late 90's, early 2000s after being supplanted by corporatists.

     The "infosec community" now means people with multi-colored hair and a variety of mental illnesses who read Firewall WAF logs.

     If you look back at early conferences and groups, there actually *was* a hacker community, unlike how the "community" term is thrown around: "the gay community", "the black community", etc.

     @eriner
     Is there a point though? Double Ratchet is implemented in Matrix as well, but in addition to it, and unlike Signal, it's decentralized and you can self-host it, so there is lower probability that sever itself can get compromised.

     @Zergling_man @istvan @graf Signal finally, years and years later, now has usernames, so I wouldn't be surprised if in a year or whatever from now, that you can use it without a phone entirely.

     Criticism is valid though.
