It’s as secure as it can be in the modern world really.
But none of the technology matters if you let an FBI agent into your super secure encrypted group chat.
Comment on The FBI spied on a Signal group chat of immigration activists, records reveal
mienshao@lemmy.world 23 hours agoI’ve always felt like Signal isn’t half as secure as it claims to be, and articles like this don’t help that feeling…

why is this downvoted? its not even that wild a comment. Signal fans need to chill a bit.

because it’s completely unsubstantiated bullshit?
why would anyone upvote “someone’s feelings” on a technical subject?
this is a technology we’re talking about: there is an objective right and wrong, feelings are irrelevant. especially when those feelings are completely baseless.
the better question is: why would anyone upvote this garbage?

Why’s that exactly… who’s not to say they just joined the huge group undercover? Or randomly added to a sensitive group aka the journalist debacle a few months ago.

I’m literally just talking, giving an opinion. Nothing was that fucking deep, just talking about my feelings about how a supposedly secure encrypted website was infiltrated by the motherfucking FBI…
And I’m downvoted? Fucking why? Every day Lemmy gets a little more like Reddit. Shit like this is why the numbers go down. Just spread that negativity—make everyone feel like shit.
Downvote this while you’re at it! Fuck yall!

Many subscribe to the “vote on comments based on how useful the information is” theory, myself included. Based on that your feeling, despite how valuable it is to you personally, isn’t particularly valuable to the discussion. Its not personal.

Your feelings and opinion are wrong in this case.
They could mislead people into sharing your opinion/feeling and then you’d both be wrong.
You’re getting downvoted because you’re wrong and are contributing the opposite of a benefit to a conversation around the security of signal without any facts or proof other than your “gut”.
That is not upvote worthy. People are correct to downvote your comment to let others know that they shouldn’t take it with any degree of seriousness. That’s how this works. That’s how the whole comment voting system is supposed to work.
Your feelings are not special when they muddy the waters of facts.
