"Your #privacy is our priority. With that message has #WhatsApp last week sent all its users a message" (translated from Dutch from an article in De Telegraaf, a large newspaper in the Netherlands)
There is too much gossip about WhatsApp according topman Will Cathcart.
"#Signal is very cool: the number of new subscriptions in the Netherlands is this year 25 times as high as before"
WhatsApp is closed source. Do you trust #Meta? Signal is #opensource.

All my attempts to communicate a vulnerability in #Signalapp have failed - I have not received any response to my multiple messages to them. Good people have tried to forward my concern to them (and I am thankful for your efforts and help), yet this has been to no avail.
I am disappointed in the lack of communication from Signal. I will be disclosing the full details of the issue later today (with end-user mitigations), after the six-month anniversary of the initial report.
#Signalapp doesn't actually delete messages when they're deleted (either manually or by automation). The message deletion is written to Write-ahead Log, and the data is only truly deleted once Signal is restarted or threshold of 1000 pages is reached. For macOS Signal application, extra complication arises from the fact that the signal message database can be backed up before the database consolidation occurs. Large amount of the supposedly already deleted messages could be recovered from the device or backups.
This concerns use cases where deleting messages actually getting removed in timely manner is of high importance and recovery of the deleted messages could lead to grave consequences.
TL;DR: If you don't care about deleted messages being actually deleted you don't need to worry.

Is there a way to be alerted when there is an update for Signal? (For those of us using direct download instead of google/Apple app stores)
hii hi I'm making a little signal zine in the next few days and would love to hear some additional ideas / receive submissions about how others organize their chats!!!
how have you made signal more tolerable, less disruptive, easier to use?
I have some ideas and wanna share what I've done but I assume others have some methods that would be helpful to include!
