On the other hand Signal has made a lot of questionable choices (such as adding a crypto payment that was just a money grab) that it has made me lost trust in the team and their motives. I no longer trust their build images and even if you build your own you have no idea what software the person you're talking to is running.
- maqp 5y agoSure, you do you. Personally I haven't seen anyone in e.g. the major infosec expert bubble abandon Signal for introducing mobilecoin. It's an opt-in feature, it doesn't make the message side security code harder to audit, and it's not like Moxie isn't painstakingly engineering everything to be secure from the get-go. I haven't once been disappointed in a new feature. OTOH consider Telegram that adds group video calls that nobody asked for: is it E2EE? Nope. Another security disparity to make explaining and understanding its security even more nightmarish.
- hanniabu 5y agoDoesn't matter if signal is secure if nobody uses it. None of my friends are willing to use it because of the lack of features and horrible ui/ux.
