Signal's "Safety Number" is an important feature that generates a pop-up which allows you to "mark as verified" a man-in-the-middle attacker. This way the attacker is verified and we can all feel better about the whole messy business.

Fireside chat about the Fediverse and so much more
I had the absolute pleasure of talking about the social internet, public values and so much more in the Fireside Fedi chat. It was really good fun and we covered a lot in a short time. Everything from the Fediverse to CSS is covered in a relaxed and fun way.
Available on the Fediverse or if you want just the audio.(its better with the video for our expressions)
Thank you very much Ozone for the fun time we had discussing everything.
