africanprince99,

Please note that this is a scam. Wiremin is known spyware. These scammers have infested Lemmy.

o7 be safe.

SimpleX is a good replacement

hmm no one said matrix. i rather like matrix. the whole key and passcode seems to confuse people but once its set up its nice and free… and you can host your own server if youre super paranoid.

(edit: I just realized this entire post might be part of an op to promote scam software so that’s kind of more important than this comment)

Good eye. In another of op’s posts he asks a question for someone to then recommend WireMin. Up to no good lemmy.world/comment/6032047

wait am i an op plant? like is there something about matrix i missed??

LWD,

Sorry, not you. I just figured there were better times and places for me to rant about Matrix, which is a legitimate ecosystem

roflo1,

Missed your post before the edit. But I’d like to read your rant on Matrix. Even if it’s just a TL;DR.

Gooey0210,

SimpleX gang here 🤔

tioute,

I saw this post earlier today: twitter.com/AL_Capone_MMA/…/1741684366084874643

Hope it helps.

Thanks!

For those who don’t want to click through Twtter’s link, here’re what the post recommends:

Session, Threema, Signal, BriarApp, SimpleXChat, WireMin.

LWD,

Just a heads up, that last one is spyware.

There are scammers running around social networks promoting WireMin using what I can only describe as a “call and response” technique, where person 1 asks for advice, person 2 responds by recommending WireMin, and elsewhere they repeat the same mantra.

LWD,

On my server, that comment is already deleted. Luckily, I can see it, and I’m currently making a post about them.

LemmyHead,

It’s too bad that it’s so fragmented nowadays.

  1. @WireMin

Opinion immediately discarded.

WireMin is spyware.

More info here

JustUseMint,

Fucking rip. I’d suggest signal but it’s not quite the same obvi. Uh, Session is also good.

Desyn0xox,

Haven’t tried Session, though it seemed like a good service, until I found it lacks perfect forward secrecy, which IMO seems like a bad decision. I think Berty seems interesting too, but it seems like it might take a short while before it becomes a relevant option.

LemmyHead,

Also not a fan of Session missing FS. So I replaced it with SimpleX, but it’s quite a dead community. The app also feels like something beta, but I have high hopes for it

Didn’t Amazon buy wikr a couple years ago anyways? That’s when I deleted it. Signal.

EDIT: as pointed out by LWD, op is likely just starting conversation to have another account recommend spyware, WireMin. Like he did in this thread’s comments: lemmy.world/comment/6346585and I found on another post: lemmy.world/comment/6032047

LemmyHead,

Molly as hardened signal alternative

Cheradenine,

Yes, they have been shit for years, with Amazon buying them, CBP using them in defiance of FOIA laws.

Use SimpleX Chat instead

LWD,

And before Amazon bought it, it was owned in part by Eric Prince, a POS in his own right. Really, there was no point at which Wickr was known for being anything but bad, so good riddance to bad software.
