Comment on Dutch community on Signal

  From the sidebar of this lemmy:

  “A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.”

  So its about self-hosting with certain qualities (not giving up privacy or lockin). Not about privacy in general.

  Signal isnt selfhosted and does lock you in, albeit with a high reputation to not become evil.

      You asked why and I gave an explanation where the 27 downvotes came from. So I think there is some agreement within this lemmy about being offtopic.

      If that bothers you too much I suggest focusing on something more productive, as I will do.
