@zeh it's proprietary and centralized by design. the web is in fact proprietary and centralized around custom apis and centralized webservers and databases.

it's fine if you think signal should federate and shouldn't be centralized, but signal made those choices for reasons and stands by them, so criticizing them should be done on that basis (it doesn't federate) instead of throwing around proprietary like a slur. signal doesn't make any nonfree software. microsoft/github do.
