Hey look, the centralized nature of Signal has come back to bite it. Who could ever have predicted? Edit to try and make this less snarky and more productive: In n number of threads regarding Matrix, and the Matrix vs Signal controversy[0][1], the point is that Signal took a single, simple approach and tried to proclaim it was necessary because it allows them to be agile and responsive and integrate new features or security standards and not be weighted down. However, they jumped in and married themselves to a centralized service to do that, and have just essentially ignored that the centralized service may have faults. Whereas Matrix, while slower to evolve, is setup to be far more resilient to a single point of failure.
