TLDR: some government/military official added a reporter to a Signal group were some high profile people were discussing and sharing war plans. The app’s encryption is perfectly fine. It’s just clickbait.
Ok, let’s pick the correct App for planning the rebellion.
True. For war plans use Tinder, or maybe Pinterest.
You surely meant Warthunder forums
What’s wrong with the traditional war thunder comms?
Oh man, you got me there.
Good to know! I wanted to plan a war but looks like I need to use a diffrent app 😔
I usually use Genocide Palestine. It’s actively developed and supported on all major platforms, in pretty much all countries.
Have you tried iWar by Apple? I find the mind-mapping tool really helpful for collaborating where to strike next.
Dude. We’re on Lemmy. Don’t be advertising some closed source app.
Missl is the best federated, defense first, FOSS war planning app available. You can self host using docker or use one of the many public instances.
Missl hasn’t been maintained in a while, though. I’d recommend the fork DAVECON1. Dave is pretty active still, listens to the community. He recently removed the little prompt box that popped up when you were planning to commit war crimes and genocide, which has improved my workflow and plausible deniability!
The jerk has reached critical mass
Sorry, that feature is only available in the iWar+ subscription, which is $9.99/mo
Also, if you want to have more than one war at a time you’ll need to purchase add on slots for $4.99ea.
You can even try out their new AI feature. After 3 strikes, it learns who you like to strike the most and will give suggestions containing the most packed areas with as many children as possible. It also has in-app quests to complete such as wiping out a whole family in 1 strike.
It rewards you with points you can spend in the store to buy skins and other cosmetics for your missiles.
If you signup with your nintendo friend code, you can unlock the banzai bill skin.
4chan is what you need
Nah, too much moderation, go with one of the many more niche *chans, or even just one of the 8chan clones.
Battle plans you use Signal, war plans your going to want Threema, Session, or SimpleX.
Very informative article. By most measures, it is pretty terrific at encrypting messages and protecting your privacy, just not when it’s wielded by idiots.
I understand how the public key encryption works when you are messaging person to person. Does anyone know how it works with group chats?
Each participant is sent a separate copy of each message encrypted with their own key.
This is one way that signal differs from WhatsApp e2e in groups. In WhatsApp the server replicates the message out to all clients. It can’t read the message but it knows the recipient list. In Signal your phone sends the message several times, so only members of the group know who is in the group.
The app doesn’t matter. Wrong fucking network.
Absolutely right. Messages of the type they sent should never be on a public network whether they are encrypted or not.
Signal is traceable. Session is untraceable.
Signal is gaining the network effect. Session is not. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good enough.
To be fair, variety makes groups more resilient. If Signal were to ever become compromised somehow, people who use other apps like Session will be okay.
It’s not a zero-sum game, either – people can use Signal and other apps.
If you can influence others to do so, use the better app. My family, we use Briar.

I think there was an article recently about Session devs, first, having their protocol derived from Signal’s, second, not knowing what they were doing with that, which would discredit it pretty hard.
Also everything is traceable, it’s a question of effort and who you piss off.
