On its 10th anniversary, Signal’s president wants to remind you that the world’s most secure communications platform is a nonprofit. It’s free. It doesn’t track you or serve you ads. It pays its engineers very well. And it’s a go-to app for hundreds of millions of people.
Nobody is going to use Signal when it lacks so many features. Feels like MSN messenger compared to it’s peers.
what do you mean? i use it a lot and it works great, photos, videos, phone calls, optional temporary location sharing with friends, and encryption.
what features do you want it to have that it’s lacking?
Don’t forget, cross-platform!
i totally forgot, another great point
Don’t forget voice calls! It has some rough edges there (my audio doesn’t always connect successfully, etc), but when it works the codec sounds better than a standard phone call and there’s no mass surveillance. I use it in place of phone calls for all the people in my network who have it, including my immediate family.
that’s a great point, i use the voice calls daily.
added above.
And video! Group video too!
I’m guessing they probably want stickers or something
Edit: apparently this is available on signal so I have no fucking idea then
Yeah you can even make your own stickers for free
Yea we heavily use it in the army
very cool, i had no idea.
free, convenient, reliable encryption.
My guess is it heavily private and does not have channels
except that it does. you can make a public group with a shareable link, and change permissions so that only the admins can post.

very weak bait
Judging from the comments, it seems like you’re wrong.
You suck, man
Lol
That’s not a bad thing. Maybe some of us don’t want to be cluttered with a lot of things we don’t really care for on using. God forbid we go back to simpler days of communication whereas now we’ve got things like Discord trying to charge people to pay actual money to have fancy little animations for your profile picture.
Is that what you think is missing? Stupid pointless things that make you feel special because you paid money for it when the true attraction should be focused on how much communicating can be efficient and caring about your privacy and security?
No.
The rest of your incoherent essay is now useless.

You seem like a very stable and rational person.
