No thanks I prefer taking my pink pills for headaches

>open whisper
who is the retard who thought this would be a good name for a privacy oriented company

probably chinese scam trash that sends data back to tencent

there's nothing to redpill, it's free software. read the source. axolotl has been extensively audited as well.

It's shit.

It's open source, it does what it says it does
I use it as my default sms app and have exactly two actual Signal contacts because nobody uses it, but they will

>needs your phone number

hahaha. nope.

>RED
FUCKING
>PILL
KILL YOUR SELF YOU MOTHER FUCKING REDDIT

>>>reddit

If it's open source then its okay, code nerds would have called it out if it was botnet

I use VKontakte (:

Fucking Permissions

Its alright, but does not support federation so selfhosting is crippled.
You should be using Matrix instead.

It's available on the Google Play Store.

>needs access to ALL phone data
>requires phone number verification

placebo honeypot

Why use this over Telegram?

>encryption not enabled by default
>roll-your-own encryption easily cracked by supercomputers
>not open-source

I simply cannot put my finger on why someone wouldn't use Telegram

I've seen apps that request to use a permission when you go to use a feature
some apps are good because if you click on camera, it will ask you if it can have access to the camera, but I've also seen apps that as soon as you launch it, it requires every permission

>closed source servers

can't compete on features
can't compete on userbase
can't compete on privacy

tries to compete on shills and memes to line moxies pockets

ugh

Get a fucking prepaid you mongoloid

>you need to go out of your way to hand over your money to moxiememe

u must be serious, would be bad taste for a joke

I use it all the time, every day. I deactivated my Facebook about 4 months ago and most of my close friends and gf use it now.

Telegram is bad for privacy. See this

Wire is better because muh open source servers. Plus you can pick if you want a phone number or email as a registration method, which is useful for me because I refuse to use SIM cards.

>requires your phone number
>only on google play

>be OP
>talk about red pills
>use Google Botnet Mail
>use Google Botnet Store

Hey, do you have Kik?

Wire is many times more secure, more useful, abd more aesthetically pleasing than any of these other “private” messenger apps. My group of friends uses it for a group chat we all share. It’s open source on github, has end to end encryption, etc etc Also, it has a desktop app.

Superior IM too bad it's a crowded market.

Even telegram hasn't had much growth with 100M users, it's hard to imagine wire going anywhere unless it gets bought by someone.

>requires your phone number
True.
>only on google play
False. It is also available on F-Droid without Google implementation.

More things bad about this would be that their activation runs on US servers. Their messages are also relayed through some servers the user has no control over. This all makes even the best encryption scheme sketchy at best.

It would take off if they redeisgned the app around using your own server, like Ventrilo or Mumble. If I could run my own Wire server, instead of depending on Discord or Skype, or literally any other voice messaging program, Wire would be the ONLY app I talk to my friends on.

But they want the 6/7 billion normie tech illiterate market instead of the 100k Sup Forums browsing paranoid user market.

There would always be some kind of compromise.
