Signal ignores proxy censorship vulnerability, bans researchers
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/signal-ignores-proxy-censorship-vulnerability-bans-researchers/
Full Disclosure: I have Signal on my phone, but it is one of 5 encrypted messaging apps I have. Among those, it is the one I trust the least. I keep it around only because a few friends and family prefer to use it.
Fluff pieces like this don't help.

@voltronic what are your others? Are they fairly simple to set up?
@ShrewLWD
The only one I'd really recommend at this point is Conversations (Android only), which I use for my XMPP account. For the server I use, there are a few steps involved but none of it is difficult.
Search posts for "dismail.de" to see how I set up my account.
@voltronic Which would you recommend?
@voltronic that article has been removed now
"Due to the conflicting information BleepingComputer has received, we have removed our original article"
there is an explanation on why they removed it also
hmmmmm plot thickens
@ecksmc
Hmm, I'm not sure I buy their explanation, nor do I think tweets by Moxie are an appropriate response to a serious concern about a product, even if the person raising the concern was being rude about it.
