Link to article from main Lemmy❤️ developer about Signal privacy. Mostly fair points. I kinda distrust so centralized services but basically we have no other options (Matrix is buggy in many aspects). What can you say about this article?

All of these comments are completely off the rails. He informed us about one of the largest violations of privacy in the history of mankind. For that, he had to go on the run. He ended up in Russia, but not by choice.

If he wants to retire there and just keep his mouth shut, he should have our fucking blessing. The one thing he did was bigger than anything we could ever hope to accomplish lol.
