On its 10th anniversary, Signal’s president wants to remind you that the world’s most secure communications platform is a nonprofit. It’s free. It doesn’t track you or serve you ads. It pays its engineers very well. And it’s a go-to app for hundreds of millions of people.

    Imagine saying that without a hint of irony after Snowden revelations

    Funny enough, “Edward Snowden has reiterated his faith in the Signal app by saying that he uses it every day.” - published 2021.

    I’m going to stop replying to you here because I’ve said all there is to say on the issue and we’re just going in circles.

    Same here, lets end this amicably and find common ground. I think we’re both pushing for what we believe is best in attempts to guide people towards a secure platform, can we both at least agree that SimpleX is superior under more threat models compared to other messengers, even if it does have a few UX issues it needs fix?

      I do think we can agree that SimpleX approach is the way to go long term. Cheers.
