That’s a valuable Idea. If I force them to use the secret chats option, then they maybe notice that Telegram is worthless without all the flashy stuff and is not private at all. And it’s at least a step forward into the right direction.
I don’t think WhatsApp is a good option. Their clients are not Open Source, so it’s unknown if they really implement all the privacy features of the Signal client. Also, Facebook and WhatsApp are known to collect every single bit of Metadata they can get, it’s really bad. I wouldn’t touch it again, under any circumstances. I’m glad that nobody I know uses it, at least inside my circle of friends. Some still use it for outside connections or family members.
And they have some weird crypto scams running in the background as well.
I know, but their server doesn’t. And since everyone uses it without the secret chats feature, they could read every message we exchange.
I’m not upset in any way about Sync. It seems like a quality app with a different business model.
What I’m actually upset about is people claiming open source apps are shitty and only Sync is possible to provide a good experience. That’s just pure bs
I’m sorry to say, but you seem to be clueless in the world of software engineering. Open vs closed source does not make any software better or worse. This solely depends on the talent and will of the developers to create a good app for you. That can happen in both worlds, but just because an app is not open source doesn’t make it better in any ways. Rethink it. Sync might be a nice client, but you’re dependent on this one dev to always deliver a good experience and keep updating, whereas if it was open source,you could be sure someone would continue the work and help fix some issues if anything was to happen. Open source has a lot of potential. Don’t let anyone fool you into thinking it’s worse in any way. It’s not.
I guess your brain implant will probably kill you before the end of your favourite playlist. Just like all those test animals.
