A small minority has been telling the retards to stop using Telegram for quite awhile now.
The majority take convenience over security.
Use instead:
Element
Signal
Session
Jami
- JitsiAnd several others here
https://www.privacytools.io/privacy-messaging/
On the Signal Github, Android uses Java language (a completely different language from Javascript) and Apple iOS uses Swift. However the desktop version uses Typescript which is essentially Javascript
https://github.com/signalapp
The signal server is written in Java and the libsignal repo is written in Rust.
Other than Signal-Desktop, nothing uses Javascript.
It exposes phone numbers in your contacts list using Signal, yes I agree that is a no-no but they still end-to-end encrypts your messages so 3rd parties (not even Signal itself) can't read your messages. It is also the most normie friendly app on here while still maintaining pretty high security and privacy. On Signal you can send SMS text messages to non signal users and encrypted messages over internet signal to other users who have signal so it's a win-win over regular text messaging.
Compared with the shitstain Telegram app it is 100 times better.
Phone number is why I never went on telegram.
I suggest not using Jitsi unless you're running your own server. If not your calls are probably being recorded. I have to use it for work and its shit to begin with. Atleast once a day it just stops recognizing that you have a headset plugged in, or hits an error where it cant find network ports for calls.
Jitsi is crossed off the list since I haven't looked into it as much. I would keep in mind though that most projects that end up on privacy tools have already gone through a pretty big vetting process of being audited and/or open sourcing their code on Github.
They're open source but if you aren't running your own server or using someone else's you trust, then you're using theirs. They also participate in one of Goolgle's annual events about teaching coding.
Edit: At my job I can go back and listen to any call that anyone in my company has made in the last year, if they did it on Jitsi.
This is good to know about Jitsi, I'll steer clear of them more if I can help it. Thank you for the information!
