    Moxie is probably annoyed by the slow pace in which federated protocols move. Having it centralized he can move it a lot faster. Fortunately there are solutions that incentivize modern features in federated protocols too, like SSLLabs HTTPS checker or https://conversations.im/compliance/ https://conversations.im/compliance/ for XMPP.

  The posts that really left me disappointed are: https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/ https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/ https://whispersystems.discoursehosting.net/t/how-to-get-signal-apks-outside-of-the-google-play-store/808/20 https://whispersystems.discoursehosting.net/t/how-to-get-sig... https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issuecomment-217211165 https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issueco... I suppose "only I can do security right" is perhaps overly harsh, but my take away was that he considered a walled garden that could be iterated on by his team preferable to allowing even forks of his team's own client to communicate with users on the OWS network.
