Also, something is up with the time zones I guess because my freshly posted comments show up as 'posted 1 hour ago'

where can I file bug reports? For me, links won't open at all. Also, when commenting, I have to manually close the keyboard before I can hit "post" and then the comment gets sent twice :-))

Guys, I use and love both XMPP and Matrix however I don't see masses adopting them in fact I can't even convince my immediate family to use them. People want reliable push notifications and cute stickers :-) I think Signal is a good compromise, I know it's US based (I discuss this in the post) however it's zero knowledge. The code is open source if there were vulnerabilities we would probably know by now...

Recent intrusive changes in the privacy policy of WhatsApp (including the sharing of never before seen amounts of unencrypted user data with the parent company Facebook) have prompted a mass exodus of WhatsApp users to the secure and open-source alternative Signal. I have been hoping for a change like this for years. I wrote a non-technical blog post about the problems with WhatsApp in detail, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of other messaging apps as well.
