I've been a user for nearly 10 years and still only a few people in my circles uses Signal. If they go through with this, Signal is as good as dead.

- dodgerdan 4y agoWell for what it’s worth it sounds like you weren’t really using Signal for secure messaging anyway… so not much of a loss.
- roer 4y agoWell, isn't the point that more people using signal strengthens the privacy/security of everyone? I would be sad if I wanted to send a message to gerty, and I find out he stopped using signal because of this. It's not like I wouldn't still want to message him, right? Convenience is extremely powerful in getting the layman to adopt this kind of tech, and I feel like it should be prioritized.
- Xelynega 4y agoThis kind of thinking is exactly what's killing signal. Why would you want to gatekeep the security of others instead of making t as accessible as possible? To me this feels like signal not understanding that their intended userbase and their actual userbase are very different, as I can't imagine the number of people that use signal solely for it's e2ee is comparable to the number of people that use it as their sms app.
