> Moxie isn't ever going to acquiesce on the points he's stubborn about

Yup, indeed. https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/ was written after I mailed him to ask if they'd consider interop. (https://matrix.org/blog/2020/01/02/on-privacy-versus-freedom was our overdue response)

If you're open to changing the protocol, might I also recommend XChaCha20-Poly1305? :)

It's fast and constant-time even on mobile devices (where AES is often variable-time or slow due to a lack of AES-NI).

His eponymous talk on 36C3 was similarly disappointing, mostly defending stubborn choices. Glad I didn't decide to spend the time watching it in person and got to see another talk by watching this one back instead.
