It gets a lot of shit here but it's pretty much straightforward. It works the way a modern messaging platform is expected: - leaks a bit of your data and metadata (expected, various laws and jurisdictions, what do you expect) - functions on web, desktop, mobile - functions well on low-end devices - clients can be reimplemented open source - has great developer api and documentation for bots Try comparing that to WeChat, Whatsapp, Viber, Line, Instagram, Messenger. Comparing it to Signal doesn't make sense, they got different intended purposes (security vs general purpose usefulness), and they serve different markets. Your average user doesn't care about security at all, most just want a better messaging user experience.
