watching the fediverse and the matrix idiots bash signal today because they got 40M new users in a week (while those services have never gotten 1M users ever) is sad and frustrating.
especially considering signal is a) free and open source, b) vehemently against data collection, and c) beating them badly
sometimes i just want internet people to stfu

Did you see https://blog.whatsapp.com/why-we-don-t-sell-ads?_fb_noscript=1 ? Or Telegram adding ads? Why should we trust Signal, another centralized service?
@timokoesters because you have no alternative; people don't use decentralized services especially considering that the UX on ios sucks as ios push notifications for an app must all come from a centralized location.
given that constraint, this is the best centralized service possible.
@sneak, I didn't see any bashing, only warnings against its centralization. In any case let me know how your DDOSd service is working out for you now ;)
@sneak
You where complaining about that matrix is centralized om IOS (which is completely false because you are mixing up the protocoll and clients) and you think that people who use a decentralized service are idiots because they laugh when a centralized service goes down?
Great Logic there
