coffeeClean , (edited ) to Privacy in I made a spreadsheet that ranks messengers for privacy

it would be more usable if the left column were locked so you don’t lose it when scrolling horizontally. Same for the top row.

“Email / Phone required for signup” ← these are on two very different levels of intrusiveness.. really needs to split into two rows. And from there, it’s interesting to know whether a phone must be a mobile phone or not. With email, it’s interesting to know if disposable addresses are blocked or not.

Also, for “decentralized network” for , you simply have “no”. I would change that to “No (Amazon)” to inform people they are feeding Amazon by using Signal.

In fact I suggest also adding a row: “feeds a tech giant” because privacy from tech giants is not the only factor -- some of us trying to live ethically do not want to even feed privacy offending tech giants, such as:

  • Amazon
  • Microsoft
  • Google
  • Cloudflare
  • Apple
  • Facebook

And as someone else pointed out, Delta Chat is missing.
