i've just seen a comment in a post, in this very community, saying people trust signal because of missinformation (from what i could undertand).

if this is true, then i have a few questions:

-what menssaging app should i use for secure communications? i need an app that balances simplicity and security.

-how to explain it to my friends who use signal because i recomended?

-what this means for other apps in general?

I myself said "Signal is actually good", so there's no need to argue with me about it.

Nevertheless:

I actually view Signal’s contact discoverability as a feature, not a security flaw

Of course it can be both. Many things are both features in one domain, and flaws in another domain. Obviously it's a feature or else they wouldn't have purposely developed it.
