> Our community have been silent for too long. We are the underdogs, doing the real work, and yet unappreciated by many people. Our opinions are underrepresented. That's what makes me believe that we must speak out this time, that we should release a joint statement, to condemn Signal's dismissive and irresponsible attitude to the anti-censorship community, and to call for our unity as a community and their immediate action on the matter.
What an entitled, self-serving, narcissistic framing. Even if their technical claims are 100% correct, they have almost no credibility issuing propaganda like this. Yikes.
- dmix 6y agoThat seems to be the new thing today. Everyone trying to frame themselves as an oppressed victim of some higher power. If they think wasted hours programming solutions not getting adopted by OSS makes them some special oppressed group then they must be new to this whole thing. That’s such such a common scenario in OSS and hacker culture in general it’s comical. There used to be a special pride in doing the thankless work, especially in infosec. Or maybe I’m just getting old and the new social media/political culture status quo has brewed up some entitled people where victimhood is the common currency.
