    Because Signal 1) doesn’t ship as default, and 2) requires a login process.

    You’ve already lost the majority of the general public with the former. On top of that, the Venn diagram of “people who go through with logging in” and “people who already know about Signal” has significant overlap.

      Used to shill XMPP but everyone should use Tox at this point ngl.

      • No registration
      • No phone number
      • It’s impossible to send anything unencrypted

      downside: Sharing IDs is annoying (QR code if you are on mobile? idk haven’t tried)

      updownsides:

      • It does not concern itself with backlog storage (unsent messages sit until at least one device of both parties are online)
      • It does not concern itself with file storage (sent - poof, gone)
