@catraxx@tech.lgbt @POLITICOEurope@flipboard.com 100% with you on the need to trust and fund fully open source software. Phishing/social engineering is always a concern; even just tailgating through a door in the physical world... But a communications solution that is self-hosted, integrates with internal identity and access mgt systems, and operates as a closed network/federation helps minimise risks. All of which comes down to optimising for the use case. 🙂

@element@mastodon.matrix.org @POLITICOEurope@flipboard.com But that's not what you're suggesting the european union should use, is it? Your professional server suite is, as far as i am aware, not open source. Which is fine, in theory, but it does seem a little odd when you are campaigning against signal at the same time, who are fully open source. At the end of the day, i think that arguing against Signal is not going to help your position. I am entirely on board if you say Whatapp or Telegram, or any of those. But Signal is not a project that is opposed to very high levels of security and i am not the only person who finds it in bad taste that you keep mentioning them in the same sentence with Whatsapp, no matter how you put it. They're not the same. Not even remotely.
