FYI for #Signal users: Today my wife could not send messages because Signal has implemented captchas, and the captcha failed. Nothing would send without passing the captcha. The message was being sent to another Signal user who she's messaged before and is in her contacts. It was urgent, and she had to send via SMS to get the message through. The "feature" and "safety" creep has turned Signal into something that doesn't do its only job. They would sacrifice function for the sake of treating us like spammers. You'd also think the years of metadata they have would be enough to get us on the "not spam" list. We were already using other apps as our primary messengers, but this is really the final nail in the coffin. #privacy #security
I think that's when we started with Session and Threema. Now we host SimpleX and use that a lot. Threema gets a little hate, but it's been the most reliable.
I don't know exactly. I've seen it a couple of times, but it was just a check box. I wasn't doing anything unusual other than being on a VPN. To me, there's only one reason anyone would want my real IP, so Signal can go right ahead and blow me.
Same here. It's something recent for sure. Maybe in the past couple of weeks.
That's what I suspected. I'm just super not okay with that, though. It's E2EE messaging. Why the hell would there NOT be overlap with VPN users? And why now? They aren't even hiding the agenda of the new management.
Weird. That's the complete opposite of what we've seen. I've only seen it recently, it popped on regular contacts, and I don't have a group over 4 people. It also didn't do anything complex for me, just a check box. My wife got the full deal about choosing certain objects, though. This morning she got a notification that her message yesterday wasn't sent, so that was helpful.
Yes. nostr:nevent1qqsfk8xxq6seyshqkxenhu3hp8jdwez9g47ee4283ufszrhpz3e83pspz3mhxw309akx7cmpd35x7um58g6rsd3e9upzpk8n3wy5kshhqzpstn4lz76gjft9fu3trqx9scdcz9qlsrx0w2zgqvzqqqqqqynn2hl4
