MODERATORS
why would anybody move to Signal if it's no different in terms of privacy anymore? That'd be the consequence of interoperability.
You'd have better privacy when talking Signal to Signal. Interoperability would be towards those using WhatsApp and then it'd be either using Signal to chat with them or being forced to use WhatsApp's app.
I'm assuming they'd have two different ways to communicate instead of just switching it all to WhatsApp's system.
Because more people would be on signal, which means more Signal-to-Signal chats.
As I explained in my post.
