The globally recommended app by privacy and security experts, Signal, is now being downloaded massively and tops the Danish Google Play Store
is a little ironic, but you gotta push this winning tide and then work from that.

Unfortunately Threema the European alternative that’s at least as secure as Signal costs money - and that one time fee is enough to send everyone to Signal.
Imagine EU sponsoring a messaging app as part of public infrastructure.
Great Idea. It will probably be called ChatControlsEU and every message is archived and data mined at the Bavarian police departments Palantir instance.
Several of good free peer to peer options. We need to completely move away from centralized servers. This list is dated, as there’s many new excellent options out there. It would be cool to see a multi client protocol.

The article dedicated a paragraph to Threema. Just noting and quoting it for context, not necessarily agree.
Threema and Telegram are the same app?
It’s also not open source.
The Threema client is open-source. Which is about the same as with Signal, who release partial open-source code of their server, but it is impossible to actually use.
But as far as I understand, for e2e programs that doesnt matter as long as the client is open-source, isn’t it?
Especially as there are open source alternatives such as matrix
As much as I praise Threema… it frankly sucks compared to the alternatives. Delayed message delivery, sometimes no notifications, somehow dated looking Ui…
