Thread in question. I was looking into Google Photos replacements while on my way to replace several other apps and saw that ente was recommended here. It seems interesting given the scope of the comment here. That being said, it’s been a few years. Is it a better option now? I’m interested in gene…

Ente acknowledged all the “misinformation” We did not acknowledge misinformation. Ente has always been end-to-end encrypted . We have been externally audited . We are fully open source . If you still have a problem, you can self-host for free. I’m grateful to the mods for adding a warning to the …

I looked right past it holy cow… thank you! Ente it is!

WTF is this Reddit thread, who is the author (AliceTuring) and did Ente sue her? They should because what Alice wrote is huge, wall-long pile of defamatory statements. Nothing less of it.

This “Alice Turing” account looks like someone’s attempt at an inflammatory ChatGPT bot lol. Even has an ai-looking pfp. Like who puts a picture of themselves on their Reddit account? I guess not tho since it was 3 years ago before ai got convincing enough to pass as a human.

Mod Note: Much of what was published in this thread is misinformation, and not accurate. Ente has been audited: Ente successfully completes a security audit and the company operates from the US now. OMG this has done more to destroy Privacy Guides reputation than anything else I have ever seen. …

I was seriously considering Ente Auth, but that thread dampened my enthusiasm. Even though you say most of it is misinformation, it’s still a bit concerning. Is Ente Auth externally audited ? Thanks :slight_smile:

externally audited? Auth is built on the same primitives as Photos ( Architecture ) and the server that serves both has been audited . that thread dampened my enthusiasm Sad to hear that.

Thank you for the links. I’ll give it a try for some time. :+1:

I do not wish to dissect the thread again, the bits you mentioned are the parts where we acknowledged the criticism constructively. The rest of it is misinformation, which we did not acknowledge. Scanning the user’s profile will put the hate in context: Reddit - The heart of the internet honest …

That’s the thing. My first post was talking about the mods characterizing criticism as misinformation. Note that I spoke of it being bad to PG’s reputation, not Ente’s. Acknowledging and addressing the points raised actually reflected positively on Ente. Your answer here did not.
