/e/ OS and Graphene OS are having trouble with certain banking apps already because “it’s not the original firmware” or something. Some people have reported contacting their banks and explaining how to add exceptions for the specific ROMs, but banks don’t give a fuck.

I was hoping instead of emulating a “safe” phone, that there would be some way to modify the application for it to never make the safety request.

Did that not exist on telegram? How did telegram manage it?

Why is matrix a cesspool? What makes it more of a cesspool than telegram?

Psst lookie here

@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net could you please follow rule 1 and use the signal group link?

The cryptpad link can be put into the description

For some reason fedia messed up and converted everything. Dunno why. Thanks for telling me.

The next CEO killing is only a matter of time.

You could try again. The link hasn’t changed… https://signal.group/#CjQKIFR54ejfP9FUAVEhLskU6kWJRayX4E2gTk4HKlRdlw91EhCa-lPjrjN77cz-5OYrfIhE

There are 120ish people in that one and max 1000 are supported. It’s been fine so far…

If you’re looking for an alternative, there’s a piracy chat on signal :) Currently 118 members. Small but growing

Sometimes, but that’s it. Authorities and signal itself can only say “this number has account with us since $signupDate and used it last on $usageDate”. Signal can’t say “we know $number is talking to $otherNumber” nor can they say “$number is in $group talking to $users”.

Signal is a walled garden?

Travel across the border where you can? Ask a friend abroad to send you a SIM card? Maybe even find a service to buy a SIM from?

Go ahead and create the group then make a post. Nobody’s holding you back my friend.

Same in a few other European countries. I’m doing it right now with a few SIMs. You can also go on holiday to another country, get a few temporary SIMs there for a few quid and fly back home with the “contraband”. Really not hard.

Feel free to make a post about it. Very few will see it here otherwise :)

What are the “popular” alternatives? Telegram stores everything, WhatsApp doesn’t allow usernames, Matrix requires IPs too…

Make it and share it. I don’t have simplex.

Signal doesn’t collect IPs and therefore can’t even hand them out. It’s been requested in 2021. Here’s a list of requests from authorities they were allowed to publish. I’ve looked through 3 of the most recent and nowhere do they reveal IPs.
