That's... that's really weird. I definitely argue that it's not a good idea, and I'd also argue it puts quite a few nails in the coffin in terms of my trusting it as a good protocol.
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but IMO the fact that Facebook "trust" it means that I have a lot of reserve about using it myself.
- viraptor 9y agoIt's not that weird from their point of view. "I was using Signal, but my messages were intercepted anyway" - "But were you using original Signal, or a third-party build with ads and malware?" (if that's the rule anyway - I couldn't find confirmation for that)
- StudentStuff 9y agoAdditionally, you end up with crap like Noise (a Signal fork that uses the main servers) where features inconsistently work or are available and the devs of Noise don't actually pull down new code very often, resulting in a two tiered network that has many unreliably working features. Hence why Moxie doesn't think federation is practical with an evolving communications protocol.
- exikyut 9y agoGood point. This is really hard :/
