The "look how Swiss we are" meme died when Crypto AG was exposed as a BND/CIA front shipping deliberately weakened crypto to "bloc-free" countries.

That doesn't mean that they're (plural, because Threema is also milking its Switzerland-based operation for all it's worth) worse than non-Swiss providers but if that's your main selling point, it's not really a selling point at all.

Yes, I have some Swiss friends who wish I would use Threema, I politely declined and we've agreed to use Signal. After a while it becomes difficult to distinguish the difference between these applications with the noteable exception of WhatsApp which is owned by Meta who I absolutely don't trust.

Threema is a hell lot sketchy.
