Comment on Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp

  Thanks, appreciated. I installed Nord on my linux box as well, then set that to openvpn technology and obfuscated servers which worked. I’d prefer to use their quantum-proof encryption but there’s no way to bypass VPN checks if one sets that. I think it’s a mistake on lemmy’s part to even put that hurdle up, but it is what it is. Having one’s real world identity tied to social media is a risk going forward. Data is the enemy.

    Data is 100% the enemy and you’re right, lemmy would be moronic to put that roadblock in place

      They DID put that roadblock in place. That’s kinda my point. You have to loosen a VPN’s security to post here (as I’ve had to do to reply). It says “no posting from VPN” in the lower left if one uses more advanced/secure encryption. They also don’t allow account creation from masked email platforms like fastmail.
