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
@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.
