I don't believe in signal.
I use it mostly for family chats, I got the extended family to use it rather than Facebook Messenger
What makes you not trust signal as against WhatsApp?
Interesting phrasing. How so?
I believe in it,... for now.
I moved my family group to xmpp to have more personal control over our chats. Signal seems benevolent, but I've seen this play out before. Will it stay that way? We treat online forums with the idea that federstion works to stop enshittificstion. I believe XMPP is a good model for federating secure chatrooms for the same reason: People should control the voices of the people, not companies.
I am so excited to see people embracing xmpp! I’ve been using it since 2010 and I was really bummed when my company got swallowed up by a huge conglomerate and we were forced to use their shitty proprietary one.
