Microsoft was claiming that the data would be inaccessible to hackers (which is not true).

Signal claimed the exact opposite: that once it’s on your computer, messages can be seen by malicious programs on your computer.

Signal was caught having less than ideal security. Microsoft was caught lying.

You can only do that for your own messages though. I’m guessing the messages from the prostitutes would be more than enough for the wife to notice.

Also I think the window is longer than 3 hours. Maybe a day?

Signal also has a similar problem. If you choose the “delete for me” option, it only deletes it on one device and leaves it on the others, last time I checked.

He would have to set up disappearing messages aswell.

Doesn’t necessarily have to be the same. Afaik the signal protocol is for sending messages, not for transferring backups of chats.

Whatsapp actually lets you back up all your chats, unencrypted, to Google Drive or iCloud. Definitely not the same as Signal.

Threads isn’t federated yet. It’ll be a while before fediverse accounts can be seen on threads

There are ads on the app store, which I’d consider to be part of the “primary operating system”, especially since it’s the only way to install apps.

Not to mention constant ads for icloud. In the photos app, and even notifications from the settings app. (It’s possible to turn these off, but not easy or intuitive).

After switching to Android, I haven’t seen a single ad in the operating system, (I think Play Store does have ads, I just haven’t got any for some reason). The closest thing is Google photos sometimes asking me to turn on backup.

It’s acting up, so the feed doesn’t work, but if you go to the profile of someone you already subscribed to you can kinda see their posts? It’s weird

Yeah discovery is kinda terrible. Luckily there’s tools like https://lemmyverse.net/communities and https://lemmyverse.net/kbin/magazines, but something like that definitely needs to be built into Lemmy itself.

To get the community started you can put it on [email protected], sub.rehab if there’s a counterpart on reddit, and maybe advertise it in any relevant places. After you get just one subscriber from an instance everyone there will be able to see it in search and the all tab.

For the community to show up on an instance, it needs to have been viewed by at least one person from that instance. (You need to be logged in for this to count).

I went to https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected] with my alt on that instance. Now you should be able to see it from there, even if you aren’t logged in.

Also, I think for posts to be federated properly there needs to be at least one subscriber from the instance (just visiting isn’t enough). I’m not sure about that tho.

You can post on all platforms.

I’m on lemmy.ca and I can make posts and comments on lemmy.ml just fine.

On Jerboa its just as easy as posting on your own instance. Idk how it works on the website but I’m sure there’s a way.
