Unlike competitors like iMessage, Signal makes a good faith effort to be available on commonly used platforms. Sucks to be left out. But if I send a message on Signal, I expect the receiving end to uphold some guarantees, such as that it won't be backed up in an unencrypted form on the other side. To me that is by some margin more important than any of the considerations raised in that post. FYI: > Moxie Marlinspike built the oppression tool he was initially trying to fight Including statements like this makes people take you less seriously. There is no oppression going on here.
