@fediversereport @signalapp Problem with this piece is that Signal is just too centralized and I wish they federate and opened up more. Also, this piece is good reading on why we can't trust them. Also look at the section called "What makes a good messaging platform". https://dessalines.github.io/essays/why_not_signal.html
TLDR:
1. Open Source
2. (c) End to End Encryption
3. Self Hosted
4. Federated
5. No required linkable identifiers
Signal only has one of those checked out.
Why not Signal?
