I am eagerly waiting for usernames and for something to happen that makes people go to signal. The few people I had there ditched it when it lost sms support.
I’m cautiously optimistic that this isn’t a warning sign. I can imagine wanting to do something new after spending so long working on one project, but if he left because things were straying from his vision of Signal that could be a bad sign.
Signal do have a habit of removing features people like and completely ignoring user feedback. It’s still the best messaging app, but that could change quickly if they are not careful.
It’s because it’s main feature is privacy. It’s constantly being looked at by threat actors. All of the major nation states are constantly trying to compromise it. That’s why features keep getting removed.
Damn, that’s big. Was there internal conflict, or amicable? What does it mean for signal?
Also, does anyone know what Moxie might get involved with? He’s quite the interesting character (go watch his sailing documentary if you haven’t already).
It looks amicable. He just wants to move on to new projects it looks like.
