Yea, it’s the end of the world with Signal.
Having such a dependcy just exposes yet another way their story doesn’t add up, like dropping SMS support because of engineering costs. Apparently, SMS is so hard to do there are free SMS apps.
I can’t trust them at this point.
And how does E2E require a middleman?

Who told you it was because of “engineering costs”?

I mean, I don’t use it so I can’t really say much on the topic, when looking into it yesterday I found this article signal.org/blog/signal-is-expensive/ which kinda goes through some of the stack they use, and in all fairness they do mention aws in the mix, so it’s not like they were keeping it hidden or anything, it’d be valuable for a company who values privacy so much to be a little more upfront on what’s used for what but as you’re probably well aware we don’t - and never will - live in a perfect world do we haha
