Indeed.

It’s a very basic trade that it seems few understand. You MUST trade a bit of convenience to increase your security, or mistakes will happen.

I recognize you’re probably not the original commenter, but this is the same flavor of strawman.

App is app. Other app is other app.

In one app, it was possible to send both SMS and encrypted messages. In the other, just SMS.

I don’t feel that it’s me being intentionally dense here because, again, you’ve concocted an irrelevant scenario to argue your tenuous position - which I already agreed is possible, but irrelevant in this context.

Appreciate the heads up on session.

Not doubting that pushy idiots are going to pushy idiot, but I think you’ve strawmanned the actual reason hard enough.

Most people who want it back don’t need, want, or understand why secure messaging exists.

Here’s the simple facts:

SMS is not secure, or private.
Signal is for secure, private comms.

As mildly inconvenient as it is, Signal explained their reasoning in great detail, and I happen to agree: There should never have been an insecure option on a secure messaging app.

It was for the music in a linked game download, and owner decided to close up shop.

I vaguely recall that they received a takedown notice.

This is too much ignorance to pick apart. Thanks for revealing yourself to save me time later, I guess

Proof of ownership and/or identity. It doesn’t need to hold more data than that.

YOU CANNOT DOXX WHAT YOU CANNOT SEE.

I may have one on now.

Wholly off topic.

I feel like you should know about this if you don’t already.

Your secret is safe with me.

You’re /u/fuckswithducks and you’ll never convince me otherwise!

If you want to make a small dent, try and buy what you can from non-profits (hardmode), or at least private companies.

That means fuckall in the big tech arenas, but it can be done for more other things than I thought before I started doing it

2013 was a terrible year for media consumption.

Google killed the only thing about Google that I had any sort of true feelings for. It was exactly what I wanted in a feed reader. It almost killed my affinity to read the news during my commutes.

It was the same year that The Onion stopped printing paper copies, too.

It was also the year The Hangover 3 was released at the request of nobody, but I digress.

RIP Google Reader.

I can’t imagine that archiving and instance migration aren’t on the hub roadmap, but they’re probably well beyond the horizon.

Nascent tech rarely prioritizes development for contingencies like it’s own decay/demise.

Bad mojo. 😆
