I don't really need my messages persisted across devices in the cloud or when buying a new phone. Search on Facebook messenger for instance is broken so it's not like I can find anything ("what was the code to the gate?"), and I've never felt the need to scroll more than a few days back for other stuff.
What I need is just to persist the groups, really. So I easily can continue chatting there and not hope someone else sends a message first.
- JohnJamesRambo 6y agoYes I like Signal just like it is. I like that it can only be installed on one phone. It feels safer that way.
- eptcyka 6y agoI use software that works rather than one that feels like it works. And this doesn't.
- lordlimecat 6y agoWhy does that feel safer? It's an open protocol. It can be used on the desktop, albeit clunkily. When you send someone a message you lose control of it, regardless of how it "feels".
- JohnJamesRambo 6y agoWell I can be sure that there isn't another phone somewhere with my Signal logged in. When I get a new phone it makes me pick.
