    How much signal and she spend onnthis shameless self promotion.

    JFC, if anything she is taking signal the wrong way and going the way of mozilla IMHO

    Signal is a good product but there is a lot areas where it can do better… Have gotten any new features over last 5 years? Besides aliases?

    What are they working on?

    Seen interesting discussions about how signal is farming our meta data to the feds, I was clowned a few years back on this hot take. I am very regarded though. Can anyone pitch on this tinfoil?

    Main looking to understand if that is even technically feasible?

        Poster was made fun of in the past for saying Signal gave metadata to the feds. He has a learning disability (regarded = deliberately misspelled R slur). They’re looking for someone else to corroborate the metadata claim.

        That’s my interpretation at least.

          “Retarded” is not a slur. It’s a medical term. “Idiot” is a slur that roughly means the same thing, though not nearly as far.

            “idiot”, “moron”, “cretin” and “imbecile” were all medical terms once and described different levels of intellectual disability, but they fell out of use and are now considered offensive. language changes, and context is important.

          They did a blog post about how the feds had made a second attempt to get metadata from them and they could only provide two fields of information: the date the account was created and the last time it connected to the service.

          It’s in the public record as well if I’m not mistaken.

            The issue that if they were under FISA order or some other such shit, legally they would have to say what feds tell them, ie they would not be able to say and we give feds your logs.

            Question is whether they can technically collect the logs which is tinfoil i am following up on.

            Basic opsec thinking, if it is technically feasible, you must assume it is happening. This is game 101.

            So here we are trying to prove a negative but nobody also is able to provide anything beyond, trust signal bro.
