Signal app: alternatief voor WhatsApp | Consumentenbond (www.consumentenbond.nl)

WhatsApp is razend populair. De app is wel van Facebook, niet iedereen vindt dat een prettig idee. Berichten-app Signal is een privacyvriendelijk alternatief. We helpen je de app te gebruiken.

I think you're right that we are going in circles now, so let's end it here :) Thanks for the discussion!

And thanks to you as well for the cordial discussion! I'm hopeful that bystanders got an interesting read out of it :-)

As of me, the "worst" I would wish upon you is to adventure into XMPP, via an easy-entry app like quicksy.im (android) or monal-im.org (iOS) and see for yourself that you can get something as secure and featured as Signal, without the captivity and monopolistic abuses.

Oh no worries, I have used XMPP (though admittedly in the far past) and am on Matrix as we speak.

XMPP had a kind of renaissance in the recent years (while Matrix only stagnated, and recently turned open-core, but that's besides the point), maybe time to give it a new look? :-)
