    Signal is either going to die pretty soon, or it’s going to become the very thing it was created to destroy (gets bought by Facebook).

    Federated apps like element are the future, and element is already more stable and offers more features than signal. The only thing signal has over it is the ease of use for someone coming from WhatsApp or Viber.

      ease of use is massive though. I really don’t think federation is the future in our timeline. it would take some event actively pushing “normies” away from centralized services - I’m not even sure what that could be.
