Thanks very much for the breakdown. I was totally unaware of the keys being stored in the cloud, that seems like a terrible idea for a privacy based messaging system.

Are there more secure alternatives?

Matrix has absolute shit adoption, but is open source and pretty secure. Then there is always Telegram.

Okay cool. Thanks. Oh I didn't even know telegram had encryption capability

[–] SimplePhysics@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Almost every chat platform uses encryption by default, including telegram. If you are talking about E2EE, you have to enable that manually for each chat.
