Why? Can you please elaborate more. I recently started using Signal and like it very much. It seems that more and more of my contacts are also starting to use Signal.
They've been doing some weird stuff recently. Like this stunt and the reverse-hack thing, and they also run a cryptocurrency now. That last point alone is a huge red flag for me.
Frankly stunts like this are comforting. If Moxie had been bought, I'd expect a much more subtle hand.
He's running a cryptocurrency, doesn't need to be bought.
The "reverse-hack-thing" is a big trustworthyness bonus.
Even though Signal does seem like a step in the right direction, the fact that Signal is still a centralized platform makes it less trustworthy than say, Element. I must say this nonsense with the ad campaign isn't helping either.
Trust doesn't get easier when you are decentralized.
I rather like the idea of this ad campaign. If it shakes up a handful of people to be more aware of how much data is gathered and used against them, I consider that a win.
Once they started adding shitcoins you know they’re going the way of keybase
