Oddbean new post about login | logout I got my dad on-boarded to simplex this afternoon while we were having a lazy, pleasant lunch. We've been using signal for family chatting, but I'm going to be moving the rest of my family over to simplex as it gets better and as I get more suspicious of signal's integrity. #slowly #iteratetoimprove #simplex #privacy #privacymatters
Good for you! It was moving mountains for me to get the fam on signal...then simplex comes along 😅😭 cant ask for a while 🤙
I've had them on since before the lockdowns really hit. I explained that signal is much more vulnerable to influence, and I think can more easily be compromised since it is both tied to your number and also fairly centralized. If I can convince my dad, my mom will be annoyed but capitulate. My sister, however... She might just be too annoyed to want to, but if I can convince my BIL, she'll just have to come along for family chat.
