  Signal is a social media platform?

    It’s in the “to be blocked” list posted.

      I guess that centralized server thing is working out real well then. /s

        Mastodon is also blocked, I don’t think they cared if services are centralized.

    signal has stories now, so I’d say yes

      Bah, more reason to avoid Signal. For private communications I want an antisocial network, not the opposite.

        I think it’s a silly feature for a messaging app, but it has no impact on me if I ignore the feature.

        It’s completely removable with one setting. No nags or anti-patterns or design holes.
        If it stops a few from sticking with whatsapp because signal lacks that “feature”, I’d say it’s worth it.

        You can remove ot from your view and then you forget it is even a thing

    Depends on how you want to look at it. They have “stories” which could most certainly be considered that.
