It's incredible - Discord has really put me back in touch with three gaming groups in the area. I did have numbers of individuals, but this makes games arrangement possible again.
It's the lesser of two or more evils: being on Discord means I don't have to be on Facebook/WhatsApp/Twatter.
And despite Discord's best efforts, I only use it via a web browser on GrapheneOS and Linux - so their telemetry is massively hampered.

[...] Ma cosa – o meglio chi – sono queste piattaforme? Tra quelle citate, si possono raggruppare Facebook e Instagram (e WhatsApp), del gruppo Meta fondato da Mark Zuckerberg. C’è poi YouTube, proprietà come Google della holding Alphabet Inc., di cui i fondatori di Google, Larry Page e Sergey Brin, sono ancora i maggiori azionisti e membri del consiglio di amministrazione, detenendo di fatto il controllo dell’azienda, pur non essendo più amministratori delegati.

I think it's confusing to describe end-to-end encryption with phrases like "Not even WhatsApp can read your messages" or "The private key stays on your device — only you, not Signal, not anyone else, have access to this private key".
That's because "WhatsApp" is referring to the company WhatsApp and its servers, but it appears to the reader as if it could refer to the app/client "WhatsApp" installed on their device—perhaps they aren't even aware there is such a distinction.
But of course "WhatsApp" the app absolutely can and in fact does read your messages! That's how it can show them to you! So can Signal!
This isn't just confusing if you're unfamiliar with E2EE, it also makes it more difficult to talk about how Signal having a free client vs. WhatsApp's proprietary client factors into the situation.
So this phrasing is needlessly confusing. Maybe say something like "Not even the WhatsApp company servers can read your messages. They are only on your device.".

FUCK ZUCK! ( Here’s how! )
Zuckerberg sold out his users data to Cambridge Analytica, influencing the US election. Then he appeared before Congress like a contrite little schoolboy - "Oops! I didn't mean to accidentally cut multibillion dollar deals and sell out Facebook users. Honest mistake. I promise not to do it again ( unless the price is right! )"
I left Meta's platforms a long time ago.
Having liberated ourselves, it is our duty to liberate others, who are still trapped, to give them their right to privacy.
People who are not savvy, are locked into the #Facebook walled garden, because of the Network Effect. ( "I can't leave Facebook. All my friends are on Facebook!" )
Here's a plan of action:
1) Place ads on Facebook, explaining the benefits of #Mastodon and the #Fediverse
1. Freedom from Meta's censorship and algorithms.
2. A community owned, open social media platform.
3. Free and Open Source software.
https://fediverse.info/2) When a user clicks, guide them through exporting their data from Facebook, and deleting their Facebook account.
3) Give them an optional questionnaire, asking about their interests, and match them with the right Mastodon instance.
4) If they skip the optional questionnaire, pick a random Mastodon instance for them.
5) Give them an option to enter into a Facebook migration registry.
6) Help them set up a Mastodon account and import their data.
7) If they opted into the migrant registry, reconnect them with their former Facebook connections, who also joined the registry. A reunion with your loved ones in a place without darkness. ☺️

WhatsApp新功能｜iOS版簡化家長監管帳戶設定 輕鬆管理兒童用戶

what part is FUD???
The part where you say:
Switching from #WhatsApp / #Telegram to #Signal is not a solution if you really care about #privacy, #resilience and #autonomy
Your only rationale in the comic is that they are hosted on AWS. Which is a problem for a secure private messenger only for a protocol that is not designed to avoid leaking any sensitive data including the shape of the communication graph to an adversary with complete control over the server.
all of them are centralized services and depend on phone numbers, which makes them easy to censor
This is misleading. The phone number in Signal is not used for message routing at all. It can be used to make you discoverable to contacts that were previously using the phone / SMS to connect to you. Being discoverable by your contacts is important for a private messenger because it gets you a big anonymity set quickly.
for a start, there is no single adversary that can observe the whole network, and switching from one relay to another and using several at the same time is easy, without losing your chats & data!
To take the two parts of this in turn: First, I would suggest you search for the term 'global passive adversary'. It's a core part of how any private messenger expresses its threat model. And, although a perfect global passive adversary doesn't exist, ones that monitor more than an entire country do exist.
The second part is the real problem. How many people are there on each relay? I don't need to monitor the entire network to see what a person is doing, I need to monitor the servers that they talk to, and who those servers talk to. That's a much weaker adversary (achievable by a huge number of potentially hostile entities). And the way that you defeat an adversary like this is to have a large anonymity set, so that correlations between messages arriving and leaving are hard.
how does signal, a central observer with access to all users' IP addresses is any better?
We know, from the results of warrants, precisely what can leak from Signal: the timestamp at which you joined the network and the timestamp at which the client last connected to the network. What can a warrant with your protocol deliver?
But if you're leaking things to a passive adversary that require an active compromise of another system then it doesn't matter if your system might be more resilient to an active attacker: an active attacker doesn't need to bother if people use your system. Just knowing which relay they talk to is already giving more data than a warrant against Signal delivers.
But it also highlights the problem with a lot of distributed messaging systems: You can easily turn a single point of failure into a lot of points of failure. If a relay is operated by someone malicious, how much of the network's traffic can they observe?
But, more importantly: you did not answer my question. You just attacked Signal. There are lots of things I dislike about Signal but you aren't even giving answers that tell me that you have solved the problems that they have solved, and you've got a design that introduces a load of hard problems that they don't have.
Maybe try talking about how you've actually solved some hard problems with security and privacy, rather than starting off with an attack on other projects and claiming that you're better than them?

Hola 👋 ¿sabían que hay ciberataques dirigidos que aprovechan vulnerabilidades de software llamadas "ejecución de código remoto, cero click"?
En algunas aplicaciones como WhatsApp existe una configuración para protegerse de ciberataques avanzados, especialmente importante para personas de alto riesgo como activistas, periodistas, empresarias , políticas o cualquiera que cuenten con acceso a sistemas de empresas u organizaciones, también personas cercanas a otras de alto riesgo.

@usul I am not using #whatsapp since ever, never used it for family chat, that is why I ended up with with DeltaChat and developing ArcaneChat, it is not that hard if you actually just don't use the app, just uninstall it
if you have whatsapp it is of course hard to move away because "why would I install other app if I can chat to you already in whatsapp?"
ofc all requires some minimum of sacrifice and at least TRYING

@autonomysolidarity And this is why everyone should drop their #Facebook , #Instagram , and #WhatsApp . Meta is a fascist company.

WhatsApp runs this country, and I have a Facebook account I can't log into if the current year isn't 2013.
I never depended on that corporation for my personal needs. Only societal obligations.
Screw "data overlords".

If you know of anyone, or if you yourself are the owner of a #facebook, #instagram, #threads, or even a #whatsapp account... I would like for you to read this and pass it to anyone you care about. Even if someone isn't actively posting, they are culpable to #meta staying in business. Meta is paying #nazis (literal fucking neo-Nazis), in an invite only "Content Monetization" program to increase engagement on the platform.
