Signal works just fine, but Signal Desktop doesn't bring over old messages, since they're not stored in the cloud.
Given the number of data breaches the world experiences, I don't want every message thread I'm in available in plaintext on some company's servers. Just imagine an AI processing every conversation you've ever had.
- 627467 2y agoI could imagine easy msg duplication over multiple devices to be a operational vulnerability. But honestly: most people don't need to worry about opsec. And it is very annoying that signal can't allow multidevice and data duplication, even Whatsapp solved that now
- tapoxi 2y agoIt would be nice if Signal supported that, and one day maybe it will, but it's not a dealbreaker for me. My linked devices have all the conversations I care about. What I do care about is that I'm the only one that can read these messages and that they're a nonprofit funded by donations.
