well yes, taking millions from the US government to dupe people like you into slathering yourself in metadata is the right move. redditors will justify anything once locked into the circlejerk
Signal is the only way I've been able to get my friends and family onto an E2E messaging app. Before this, they were all using SMS and WhatsApp. Signal is how we survived ICE in Minneapolis and organized to stop a bunch of jackbooted fascists from kidnapping all of our neighbors and deporting them to unknown countries. I have a lot of respect for the folks at Signal as a result.
I get that you all are on better platforms or whatever, but I don't appreciate the dismissive shit that I'm seeing in these replies. Especially when it's about one of the first privacy-oriented apps that normies get started with. You have some information about Signal that shows it's shitty or a honeypot? Great, then post it. I'd genuinely love to see it (and not in a "post it so I can argue with you like an annoying redditor" kinda way). But this shit about high salaries at a non profit is not convincing to me and none of your replies here are doing your cause any service.
