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.

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. 🙃

[-] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Very nicely done, thanks

I don’t see Wire listed. Do you plan to add it?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago

I don't think wire is the best privacy wise

[-] UnHidden@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Yes

[-] BlanK0@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Thx for the effort 🙏, 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?
