Is this not just another centralized point of failure?
- berkes 4y agoI'm presuming GP does not put Signal forward as a solution to outages. But instead uses the opportunity to talk about messengers and show that there are alternatives in general. At least, that is what I do.
- teekert 4y agoYes it's what I do, and then I actively struggle to hold back on pushing Matrix/Element as the solution. The beauty of the federated system, it's the way the internet was intended to function, oh man I love talking about it. But, nobody unaware of Signal will ever run their own Matrix server of course. Signal is simple, recognizable, very much like WA. A WA outage is indeed a good point in time to have a lighthearted conversation about messengers and platforms. A lot of people still don't realize Meta owns WA. What I like is that the normy friends I have on Signal are now telling all their normy friends/colleagues about Signal and how we are still apping away while WA is down.
