I've been working really hard to research and rank messaging apps by their privacy. The more green boxes the better.

I plan to turn PrivacySpreadsheet.com into a place for privacy data on everything from cars to video games. It's all open source too on GitHub.

Not trying to advertise, I just put a lot of time into researching all this, and I want to share it since I think others could benefit.

Why Session is not recommended for private communication?

[-] UnHidden@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

They purposefully removed perfect forward secrecy, which is an important part of preventing future compromise in the chain of messages.

They explained this, and why it doesn't weaken the stack.

This opinionated ruling about "no PFS,no secure" is questionable judgement

This is a really cool idea, will share it around!

Maybe add the website on the GitHub-Repo as the projetc-site URL, makes it easier to navigate.

Love your commitment but I already knew SimpleX is the best. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I donโ€™t see Wire listed. Do you plan to add it?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago

I don't think wire is the best privacy wise

Thx for the effort ๐Ÿ™, the repo looks very interesting gonna have a look later

@UnHidden
A Mastodon post linking to a Lemmy post linking to a GitHub with no info worth only a .com website link left

Didn't know my patience can be used up before seeing anything worthwhile

(And frankly, I would still bet the ranking somehow confuses privacy with anonymity)

Really cool, but could you maybe use commments for the first column huge cells?
