One alternative is to switch to some open source protocol, like matrix.
- Zak 2y agoSignal is a nonprofit; it does not have shareholders. It does, however have a mission to bring secure communication to a large audience. That means it will add features it expects will expand the audience. I don't like stories in general (they're FOMO-driven engagement bait), but Signal having them doesn't meaningfully impact my ability to use it to message and call people.
- gherkinnn 2y agoRubbish. Signal has no shareholders and is a nonprofit, precisely so they don't have the wrong incentives. Stories were added two years ago. There have been no "unwanted features" since, provided stories is an unwanted feature in the first place.
