You are completely missing the point of todays discussion, it's not about who can distribute binaries or implement client. It's about not giving Facebook more data.
- fsflover 6y agoFrom this point of view you can switch anywhere. But if you would like to avoid constant switching in the future, you have to think long-term and consider a distributed network, not another walled garden. Edit: Matrix solves all problems I refer to.
- Fnoord 6y ago> From this point of view you can switch anywhere. The point isn't to not give Facebook more data; it is to not give anyone more data. Which is the case with Signal, but not with say Discord or Zoom. Telegram uses homebrew crypto and for some reason doesn't have E2EE enabled by default.

- est31 6y agoThe issue is that it gives Signal a lot of control. Don't like some new or existing behaviour of the client? With Matrix you can just use an alternative client. And there is a growing ecosystem of them. With Signal you have to use it whether you want to or not.
