Toot

@signalapp

I am done with Signal.

1. You locked my account for 7 days because of some error during account transfer from my old phone to a new phone. This cut me off from my family, instantly. Repeated assistance requests from tech support were ignored.

2. US Cyber Security agency recommends it.

3. Centralised, with obvious algorithmic account 'kill switch'.

No thanks.

@avoca @signalapp Damn, that sucks. Maybe someone can make an app that's a good as signal, but decentralized.

@cuchaz

I'm going to give Session another go now the CEO has relocated to Switzerland after federal police raids in Australia.

If a '5 eyes' fed's are interested, it must be secure.

@avoca Sure, just keep in mind that Session's cryptography isn't on the same level as Signal's. Session may be more vulnerable to attack. But since you literally don't have another choice, I can't say I blame you. Good luck!
