Matrix vs Whatsapp; The 17 Reasons to ditch KYC

in [matrix]4 years ago

It's no secret.. KYC, walled gardens, spying and hardcore censorship are being forced upon us, but we do NOT have to allow this.

"Oh, you use Discord? Sorry, I prefer Fedbook. Viber? No, I have Keybase. Telegram? No, my friends are on Whatsapp." --Sound familiar?

In this post we will compare Matrix vs Whatsapp. In future posts, we will do side by side comparisons of other messenger and VoIP apps as well.

Matrix vs Whatsapp compared

Wouldn't it be great if we could (just like email) use whatever app we wanted to use to communicate (NO more walled gardens)? Wouldn't it be great if we didn't have to worry about ever-stringent KYC, spying, censorship and some company selling our data? Be sovereign, on Matrix tech.

I'll give it a try!

Seems like Fluffychat has not quite finished their upgrade yet to the latest version, BUT, "Element (riot.im)" on the android app store is awesome. It was built with Kotlin too, so it runs much faster than the old Java version :)

The videoconferencing is WAAAAAAAY better with Element too, so give it a shot!
