I’m looking for something to share images and videos between small family group. We use mix of android and apple. Text messages are terrible for images and videos.

We were using telegram, now I want to see what lemmy has to offer. Thank you in advance.

    I looked up the Open Technology Fund on Wikipedia and it has no relation to the CIA. well, except that its parent agency (Radio Free Asia) is part of the US government like the CIA is. they don’t seem to work together at all, and they’re under the purview of two different branches of government

    besides, as other commenters have said, they’re open source and they’ve been audited. anyone can build the client themselves (with any potential backdoors removed) and set up their own server. would the CIA allow for that?

      Realistically, how many people build applications themselves? Signal does not have reproducible builds (on Android at least) and depends on Play Services for notifications.

      EDIT: Seems they have it now (since 2016). I am getting old.
