Personally paid for Niagara launcher as I find that to be the far superior launcher to any other I've tried. My second one is Symfonium, the most feature rich and well developed audio player.

What are yours?

What makes Threema better than Signal?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I am not aware of any advantage, but my family and friends are using either Threema, Signal or Telegram. So I use all three of them.

Why Threema?

Currently limited to groups chats of 256 participants and group calls of 16 participants

For privacy, freedom, and control, iOS is out. As with Telegram, I advise staying away from the Google variant and highly recommend the Threema Libre implementation for Android. Licenses are not compatible across variants, so stick with the Threema Shop!

The largest criticism levied against Threema:

"While some of the findings presented in the paper may be interesting from a theoretical standpoint, none of them ever had any considerable real-world impact," the post stated. "Most assume extensive and unrealistic prerequisites that would have far greater consequences than the respective finding itself."

Its business model and not requiring a phone number

I think Signal still required phone number for registration, but you no longer have to disclose it to others.

Signal still has that PII tho
