Is anyone else getting concerned about Signal's trustworthiness lately?
- polyomino 5y agoOnce they started adding shitcoins you know they’re going the way of keybase
- valevk 5y agoWhy? Can you please elaborate more. I recently started using Signal and like it very much. It seems that more and more of my contacts are also starting to use Signal.
- TeMPOraL 5y agoThey've been doing some weird stuff recently. Like this stunt and the reverse-hack thing, and they also run a cryptocurrency now. That last point alone is a huge red flag for me.
- medstrom 5y agoFrankly stunts like this are comforting. If Moxie had been bought, I'd expect a much more subtle hand.
- lordlimecat 5y agoHe's running a cryptocurrency, doesn't need to be bought.
- Dah00n 5y agoThe "reverse-hack-thing" is a big trustworthyness bonus.
- caseyavila 5y agoEven though Signal does seem like a step in the right direction, the fact that Signal is still a centralized platform makes it less trustworthy than say, Element. I must say this nonsense with the ad campaign isn't helping either.
- esarbe 5y agoNo.
