Well, isn't the point that more people using signal strengthens the privacy/security of everyone? I would be sad if I wanted to send a message to gerty, and I find out he stopped using signal because of this.

It's not like I wouldn't still want to message him, right?

Convenience is extremely powerful in getting the layman to adopt this kind of tech, and I feel like it should be prioritized.

This kind of thinking is exactly what's killing signal. Why would you want to gatekeep the security of others instead of making t as accessible as possible?

To me this feels like signal not understanding that their intended userbase and their actual userbase are very different, as I can't imagine the number of people that use signal solely for it's e2ee is comparable to the number of people that use it as their sms app.
