@privacyguides @privacy would really love to ditch my smartphone for a dumb phone. I’m skeptical that my calls would no longer be #E2EE I’ve seen the Punky phone that uses Pigeon for messaging but idk about that price 😅 Any thoughts? #privacy #signal

Get a Pixel and run Graphene OS. Use Signal or similar for talk and text. That is better than a dumb phone

You won't get much privacy from a dumbphone.

I had the Punkt. and sold it. Things might be better now, but Signal had delays...up to 2 hours sometimes to receive a message.

KaiOS probably shares data (no proof or sources for this, just guessing). That is a large chunk of the available phones, depending on where you live.

Get a Pinephone, or a Fairphone with Ubuntu. More privacy and more features than dumb phones.

@aba11 @privacyguides @privacy I know Pidgon is KDE Gear’s chat client (or GNOME World’s, I can’t remember), but which protocols does it support?

Pigeon is a fork of Signal only available on Punkt. devices https://github.com/Punkt-Tronics-AG/Pigeon

not to be confused with Pidgin Messenger https://pidgin.im/
