Telegram, an essential communication tool for millions, finds itself under scrutiny once again. Copyright holders have long expressed concerns about the lack of enforcement on the platform, and recent actions suggest Telegram is responding. Subscribers to Z-Library’s popular channel recently noticed that several of the shadow library’s messages have been removed “due to copyright infringement.”
When will people start using Signal or Matrix for this? Signal supports public, encrypted chat rooms and so does Matrix.
@onlinepersona I think I might start using Signal as well today.
Welcome, comrade.
Matrix sucks, it always loses some chat messages when the client is closed and sometimes it says something like “hey dude something is wrong with your session, log out and use your security key to get access again and don’t lose everything”.
[Sincere] Would you like solutions to this or would you prefer not to use it?
Which client are you using and when was the last time you used it? I haven’t had those issues in about 3 years on Element.
Not who you replied to, but I’ve experienced it on both vanilla Element and on Schildichat over and over, as well as repeated logouts that require signin approval from one of my other active sessions.
That are on devices on different floors of the house, or even in different parts of the city.
Shit’s jankey as hell.
I’ve been using a self hosted server for 5+ years now without any issue. I’m not in many huge rooms and mainly use it for 1:1 chats but its been solid for me.
Very weird… I’ve had the same clients (Element) for years and haven’t been logged out once. Just out of curiosity, do you switch between the clients (Element on one computer, Schildichat on another)? That could be the problem.
I wouldn’t recommend Signal for privacy. It has quite a few concerning issues. There are some good alternatives however. I think Briar is good if privacy is your chief concern. Sam Bent compared some of the other alternatives in this video.

Imagine using a messenger without meaningful end-to-end encryption and expecting privacy and no moderation forever.
Fuck it’s starting
Next time use matrix.
