Ok, they had choice to use Jami, app independent of anyone, but they chose centralization...

The article is about Signal providing info on what the Russians are doing on the app and not Ukraine using it themselves

Did they really? I assume they would do more research than me when choosing tech, but my initial reaction is "the fuck is a Jami?". Is this a big app in recent years?

It's a messenger backed by the GNU foundation. The last time I tried it it didn't reliably deliver messages on Android.

And you're proud of that? Well, I'm glad someone else has found out about serverless, independent messenger.

Jami sucks. I will continue to have it installed and hope one day it evolves into a reliable instant messenger, but, currently, it's extremely unreliable. Not for times of war.

Yup, he had some problems that are almost gone now. It's an obvious consequence of being completely serverless. But it provides independence. I transferred all my communication there, and frankly I'm surprised that everything works for many people I know. Signal doesn't. But Telegram and WhatsApp still does. For how long...

Not even good for sending memes to friends in peace time

Not sure how you read pride into this at all, the implication is that if they don't know about it it's not a choice, while at the same time acknowledging that perhaps I'm just out of the loop.
