People trying Signal because it’s compatible with WhatsApp that everybody uses would lead to more Signal-to-Signal chats, and that’s a good thing.
75% of my signal contacts would delete signal and just use whatsapp if interOp happened… I’ve already slowly lost 1 or 2 contacts a year because i’m the only one they know on signal and they either gave up or forgot to reinstall when they got a new phone
They are reconsidering this because libreoffice raised their hand and said they are still using secure transport

Private entities have the right to decide what is or is not acceptable content on their platforms
Exactly. Not sure why people have this expectation that facebook is some kind of serious platform that should be held to some high journalistic standard
It was a website for rating girls. It’s always been a joke website. People should be free to post whatever offensive and non-factual nonsense they want there (and its related subsidiaries)
If your entire life is so deeply entwined with facebook that you cant leave, and you demand that they only allow nice content, that’s a YOU problem.
This is not a defense of facebook. This is me saying facebook is shit, it’s ALWAYS been shit. Just walk away
I’m simply sharing my own experience. It’s not a “shot in the dark”
There would likely be fewer signal users because a lot of normies only installed signal because one or two of their friends convinced them to. Once they figure out that interOp exists, why would they keep using signal (where only 2 or 3 of their paranoid weirdo friends hang out) when they could just use whatsapp to talk with their signal friends?
Ive had multiple people tell me that they only keep signal around because of me… While i’m flattered, it doesnt bode well for signal.
