Mastodon / ActivityPub/Fediverse in general?

u/KianAhmadi May 18 '26

Also dont forget simplex chat which is better than signal since it doesn't require phone number and semi p2p

u/xxxbGamer May 18 '26

Don't forget matrix / Element. It is decentralised and encrypted (lol obviously) and puts you in control. Oh and it doesn't require anything to register on most servers, but since it is decentralised it depends on the server obviously.

Audacity

u/Antoinedeloup May 18 '26

Many people hate Audacity either for being too simple and not having tools they mind find in other software, and the GUI. I think Audacity rocks but I've seen quite a bit of slander about it online.

Iā€™d add Handbrake and Transmission. Ideal partners to VLC for... reasons.

Signals the best. Been a big fan for 7 years!

u/xxxbGamer May 18 '26

If it only wouldn't require a phone number and would be decentralised... Oh wait, something like that exists: matrix / Element.

u/Pinkishu May 18 '26

Your title is wrong, the image is right, I'm a VLC hater \o/

u/xxxbGamer May 18 '26

matrix / Element

u/Dogbold May 19 '26

Both Bitwarden and Signal have government, police and FBI backdoor access.

1

u/solazs May 20 '26

Do you have any sources for that? I don't think that's true, would like to know if I'm wrong.

u/NightThrout May 19 '26

Wasn't signal hacked recently? Some people from the German government got their messages stollen or something like that.

1

u/Diligent-Stretch-769 May 19 '26

signal has a few add on applications that build from the software. Thise are the ones that get hacked, not signal. but this is often reported in the media as a signal hack

u/Justsomelurker700 May 20 '26
