MODERATORS
Maybe because Signal is a piece of crap. Just a bunch of poorly written desktop and mobile clients tied to questionable backends.
And also because... https://dessalines.github.io/essays/why_not_signal.html
You can’t recommend Signal over anything when it comes to features and service quality it just can't handle large group chats (hundreds of people) and the cross device sync fails often with a “signal can’t display this message”. Signal’s desktop and mobile clients are simply a pile of react and JavaScript garbage that can never be as fast as the native applications from other apps.
No, because this is a survey about decentralized tech, and signal has been very vocal about opposing decentralized design
