Signal in 2026?

6 months ago by guymontag to c/privacy

Is it still viable to use Signal for privacy in 2026? It's centralized, and has had many suspicious occurrences in the past.(Unopen source server code, careless whisper exploit which is still active as far as I know, and the whole mobile coin situation.)

Thoughts?

Seriously, not a single real life person is going to use something like xmpp.
