The comments of that tweet are nothing but "Signal is full of huge design flaws"
Right, because "add user to group" is a design flaw.
I’ve never used Signal, so can’t speak to it’s quality, but the founder’s attitude is pretty funny

I've heard a few people try and demonize Signal even before this goofy situation by claiming terrorists use it to plan attacks and I'm just sat over here like: yeah? Terrorists have also used youtube, Facebook, Twitter, discord and every other platform under the sun to organize and recruit to their groups.
And now there's this blunder (?) And somehow Signal is bad for the decisions other people make on the app? Which btw, I don't believe for a second that that was an accident. You will have to actually make an effort to add someone to a chat who doesn't belong there.
And I'm sorry, but I think the comment is pretty funny. I dunno. Maybe I'm just completely morally bankrupt or missing the bigger picture, but every negative thing I have heard people say about Signal is just bizarre. I genuinely don't understand what the issue is.
Need I remind anyone of how ISIS used Facebook and messenger in 2018 to post brutal execution videos of two scandinavian girls around Christmas and sending that shit to everyone on the girls' friends lists? As much as I hate Facebook I wouldn't dream of blaming them for some subhuman scum abusing their service for nefarious reasons.
I heard about a WoW clan leader in like 2005 or so who got interviewed by the FBI because some of his guild members used it to organize an attack. I think they threw grenades at an Army base or something.
Sure, there are plenty of great reasons to use Signal... like if you want your private messages you've sent linked back to you via a phone number. No tool intended for maximum security is going to require you to provide a phone number, which is incredibly difficult to acquire in the US without some form of KYC metadata. But sure if you've never read Moxie's blog to see he is obviously invested in Israel's agenda, then go ahead.
Tox is the most secure messager I know of. Next is Briar. I consider Signal to be on the same level as Telegram.
telegram has no usable form of e2ee (and what it does have is opt in only) so no, it is not on the same level as telegram. it is, in fact, ahead of it
What on Earth does Signal requiring phone numbers have to do with Israel?
Just keep using it, especially if you plan any protests & maybe you'll find out.
You sound like a lunatic.
"Ohhhh you'll see! I can't tell you what, how, when, or why, but oh will you alllllll see something, someday, somehow!"
Right, cause clearly their push to use your biometric phone lock for encryption is so secure. If you at least want some security you won't use the official app but one like Molly that has actual passphrase encryption, automatic locking, memory clearing & Orbot support.
See, now you're actually providing some substance. We're not mind readers, so put up or shut up.
Did Moxie use AI to write this post? I honestly can't tell.
Huh? It's not that badly written and it references a recent event. Why do you think it's AI?
No it's her voice and the way she reads the teleprompter like a literal robot with imitation emotions. She sounds like text-to-speech. Sorry I was unclear about which kind of AI lol
Her voice? Who are you talking about?
You know that Moxie is a dude, right?
I did not. Him it is then. It's been a female name whenever I've seen it in the past.
