I don’t know if I’m opening a can of worms here, and I’m still trying to backtrack a lot of history where I was tuning everything out. I keep seeing random swipes at Signal (or the representatives (?)), and I was wondering whether they are founded or just lies.Is it another situation like Lemmy where we just “take the technology and move on”? Thanks!

      And I hope for sure that they’re never quietly forced to change that.

      But again, if there were 3 letter agencies and gag orders involved with Signal, they probably wouldn’t give regular law enforcement or courts any of the data they have.

      Really, my only problem is that with a centralized service, there’s no way to ever know for sure. There’s luckily no evidence of anything nefarious happening at least.
