I find this incredibly offensive. Has there been any deliberation in the Signal community on whether or not this is something that Signal should have?

- detaro 6y agoWhat "Signal community"?
- yoelo 6y agoGood point. My main point is perhaps that this shouldn't be up to one dude that loves crypto assets – that there should be a signal community making decisions.
- detaro 6y agoBeing a centrally-guided product over a community project has been an intentional core characteristic of how Signal is run from the start though, so that's pretty much against the principle for it. (outside of the level that companies listen to user community feedback)
- henearkr 6y agoIt's already a Free Software. Huge fork in 10... 9... 8...
- fennecfoxen 6y agoI look forward to replacing Signal with Noise.
- sascha_sl 6y agoMirroring the sibling comment here, moxie has been very open that this is his project, top down. He moves as fast as he wants and he steers wherever he thinks is appropriate. This is one of the main reasons Signal doesn't federate - he thought it'd bring iteration speed to a halt. (And let's be honest, if XMPP and the A3-sized spreadsheet you need for to pick a client based on XEP support is anything to go by, this is not undue concern.)
