@signalapp very much besides the point, but I'm surprised Threads is more popular than Bluesky!

@Linkinsoldier @barczek @signalapp @Mer__edith Shit happens. What I find worrying is how Whisper Systems reacted to when Daniel told them what he found.

@barczek @signalapp @Mer__edith That's why "generate link previews" is turned off by default & has a warning about it being insecure for exactly this reason when you go to turn it on. Every secure messenger I have used has had this as an option that is disabled by default & shows a warning on enabling it. If you worry about link previews so much but really want to have them, don't talk to people you don't know over any messenger, or use a proxy of some sort such as a VPN or TOR. The only way Signal could "fix" this would be to decrypt messages on its servers, scan them for links, & generate the previews serverside. That is not possible to do securely because it would rely on Signal decrypting your messages in the middle, & the point of Signal is for messages to only be readable by the sender & recipient.

@signalapp In the Belgian App Store, the rankings look completely different.

The image shows a screenshot of the “Hitlijsten” (charts) section in the App Store under the category “Sociaal netwerken” (social networking). The tab selected is “Gratis apps” (free apps), with an option to switch to “Betaalde apps” (paid apps). The list ranks popular social networking apps: 1. Threads – categorized under “Sociaal netwerken.” 2. Bluesky Social – also under “Sociaal netwerken.” 3. Telegram Messenger – with the description “Fast. Secure. Powerful.” 4. 小红书 – 你的生活指南 – categorized under “Sociaal netwerken.” 5. Signal Messenger – with the tagline “Zeg ‘Hallo’ tegen privacy.” 6. WhatsApp Messenger – described as “Eenvoudig. Betrouwbaar. Privé.” 7. Facebook – with the description “Ontdek je favoriete dingen.” 8. Mastodon – under “Sociaal netwerken.” The interface has a dark theme with white text and app icons in different colors. The top of the screen shows a search bar with the word “Zoek” (search).

@signalapp Thank you, too. Also, it'd be great if there was flexibility with setting the frequency of backups. Smaller backup files would be sweet too!

@RichPushButtons
Well then you should delete messages and media from your account history 😉
You can compare the size of your Signal data to the size of the backup and find some similarities.
Or would you just like more files just smaller in size, rather than one big backup file?

@signalapp Can you please reply in this thread or on your blog about the de-anonymize issue?

Mastodon 🐘Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦 (@rysiek@mstdn.social)There's a "Signal deanonymized" thing going around: https://gist.github.com/hackermondev/45a3cdfa52246f1d1201c1e8cdef6117 Stay calm. Deep breaths. 👉 while this is a real consideration, the only thing the attacker gets from this is a very rough (kilometers or tens of kilometers radius) location 👉 other communication platforms that use any kind of caching CDN to deliver attachments are just as affected 👉 you almost certainly should continue to use Signal, unless you specifically know that this is a big problem for you. #Signal #InfoSec

@signalapp Is there any explanation for the (sudden) popularity of Signal in the Netherlands?
