I have no horse in this race. I don't use Signal or any of its competitors, so allow me to ask some basic questions.
Could some users explain why you currently use Signal, and additionally, why you would continue to do so? It appears to me that not only this bug, but more importantly, the laissez-faire resolution of it is the opposite of what a privacy based app should do.
Based on their homepage, it looks like they're proud of the fact that Snowden uses the app. I'm interested if he, as a person with "real shit" to hide, still does.
- ghoward 5y agoPersonally, I use it because it was the best choice a couple of years ago, and I (somewhat recently) managed to convince family to use it too. However, after this, I am probably going to set up my own Matrix server and use that as much as possible, encrypted of course.
