God it's a fucking shit show. These people are so stupid.

Agree, and they are so dumb they're a random click away from being phished into installing spyware on their devices. Compromised devices is how you get hacked, not by signal itself being hacked. And properly secured devices (you can secure consumer devices) would be less prone to user mistakes.

It's the insecure way in which Signal is used and victims' susceptibility to phishing which caused those leaks, not a weakness in Signal ptp encryption itself. Physical access to devices sans passcode or users clicking dodgy qrcodes. Sufficient training can avoid that www.politico.eu/article/russ...

No doubt caused by DEI. Not to worry Trump is in office now, he'll issue an Executive Order for the fire to stop. Hail our glorious leader!

They have a saying at Bluesky, and from what I understand this comes from even before BS was independent of X, "the organisation is the future adversary"

Yep it's getting there. I'm just crossing fingers that it will be fully ensconced without any reliance on BS (the way for example Activitypub doesn't rely on Mastodon gGmbH) before the billionaires get to BS. I trust Jay Graber though (who has controlling interest in BS)

Exactly. AP is a good idea, but it's a bit more top heavy so getting it to true federation is a little more difficult. If it does achieve federation it will be better than ActivityPub.
