Just saw a poll on Twitter -- less than a hundred votes so anything but scientific -- but it was inquiring about people's *favorite* messaging app. More than 60% of people said WhatsApp and only <10% said Signal. I think despite the low amount of people voting, it was by a tech person, so the numbers should have been the most favorable, but it seems Signal's still got a way to go.
By the way, I don't have a Twitter account. I was just using Nitter (NixNet supremacy) and saw it.
@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat Ooo, tell me about this Nitter stuff. I searched via DuckDuckGo for NixNet and found a mail server. Is that related? Educate me! 😎
@redcoqui That's the simplest and most brief way I can explain it, if you'd like to learn more, Nitter has great documentation and NixNet can be found at https://nixnet.services/ .
@redcoqui Nitter is to Twitter like Invidious is to YouTube. Nitter is a privacy respecting lightweight front-end for Twitter that allows you to see all of the same content without the same front-end tracking. It can be self-hosted just like Invidious, one of these many hosters is NixNet. NixNet is an organization that hosts many different services such as SearX, DNS, XMPP, and much more in what they claim is a very private manor.
