  • You are right, basically.

    However, the backup solution of Signal will basically export the “content & metadata” of the messages into a re-importable format and then bundle everything into an encrypted container. You will get a separate password for that container file that you need to re-import your messages.

    As far as I understand it, Signal will then re-encrypt your messages after the import with the key of your new Signal installation.











  • The US is so intertwined with global politics and economy (e.g. financial markets, digital services, …) that it’s not just THEIR problem. If they drift further into fashism, oligarchy and right authoritarianism, sooner than later there will be a point where most of the world will be fucked in the short and possibly in the long term.

    We need to fight this fight from our side as well, otherwise we all will go down. Our countries need to start pushing back against it and WE need to push our countries to do so. Write letters, go on protests, vote! Otherwise we might miss our window of opportunity to bring this spiral of destruction to a halt.
