MODERATORS
Could someone rephrase/translate this for me? I can't make sense of it right now. ๐
๐ My point is signal is not going forward to be decentralized, they have history of suppressing forks. Also always reuqireing phone numbers and now when they don't, they require another piece of personally identifiable information. It has mass following, lots of money and status as a best and most secure app for chat. Techniacally it is good, but the other stuff looks like they just don't wanna go decentralized way, make app more indestructible(what guarantees one day US won't just shut the door).
Sorry english is not my first language and i am dispointed in tech and pessimistic about it
Understandable ๐, and no worries!
