Comment on Under Meredith Whittaker, Signal Is Out to Prove Surveillance Capitalism Wrong

Nobody is going to use Signal when it lacks so many features. Feels like MSN messenger compared to it’s peers.

Judging from the comments, it seems like you’re wrong.

what do you mean? i use it a lot and it works great, photos, videos, what features do you want it to have that it’s lacking?

Don’t forget, cross-platform!

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.

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.
