    The vast majority of people can’t even be bothered to delete WhatsApp for security concerns.

    Whining about how signal isn’t running off a Linux virtual machine that emulates a 1972 Turkish missile console looks like clown shit to damn near everyone and probably close to 80% of the people that have even cared enough to download signal in the first place.

    Valid concerns and critiques are valid but, like, its open source dog. Just make it better. Make a federated version or whatever he wants, the source code is right there in the app.

    This guy sounds like one of those dudes that thinks something is only good if nobody knows how to use it and success is measured in how widely it’s rejected by consumers

        Thats what I’m saying! Maybe once there are entire countries running on signal you can be the snooty “my contacts in my phone can see me on signal” critic that nobody cares about or listens to

        Right now meta has access to every message sent in Mexico and this guy is trying to convince people not to use signal because it “isn’t secure” smh
