Have strong opinions, but I welcome any civil fact-based disscussion.

  • Unlikely based on current reports that Wagner still has recruitment operations from Molkino which is in Russia and only a small number of Wagner troops have arrived to Belarus. Belarusians are also against attacking Ukraine and every time Lukashenko even hinted at it senior generals said they will refuse to carry out the orders. Lukashenko has no real control in Belarus and is being protected by Russian Presidential Security Service (SBP) as he is afraid of being killed.







  • Signal is great for one on one conversations or small groups. Matrix is better served for communities as federation offers censorship resitance, but they collect some metadata that Signal doesn’t. They do have encrypted DMs, but it’s less user friendly than Signal and if your partner is not tech savvy, I would go with Signal.

    Signal has 2 points of concern:

    • Phone number requirement
    • Centralized server (one point of failure)

    I use both for different groups of people. E.g. My Matrix account is publically listed on my Lemmy account, but my Signal one is only given to people I trust to some level.
