@verge

Stand twenty feet away from Elon when you tell him.

@verge i honestly don’t know what to think about this

@reconbot @verge It's just France not wanting unspyable uncensorable messangers and using moderation as an excuse. Nothing new, just France being France.

@hagarashi8 @verge I’m willing to “yes and this” telegram is involved in some serious shit

@verge when reading the online debate, most agree that #Telegram is a shady platform. At least larger groups should definitely be moderated. However, nobody there is talking about the #matrix messenger. Even with excellent #opensource distributed E2EE messaging available, it seems that choosing your home server, a username a password and an additional secret is too complicated for the masses. We have to work on an even more slick UX! @chagaifriedlander

@rasos @verge thx for tagging me, very interesting news! Yes I agree, they should be talking more about matrix, beeper already has a pretty good UX but we need to do even better! telegram is probably the most polished UX chat app but it doesn't care at all for encryption, so that's the matrix advantage, encryption, and with the key backup it's by far the easiest platform to use on multiple devices and still be encrypted.

@rasos @verge Another huge benefit of matrix are the bridge, the fact that you can use one chat app that combines all of your chats is really incredible.
