@GreenandBlack@sunbeam.city @qyliss yeah, Signal is incredibly hostile towards forks/alternate clients, and moxie loves to argue in bad faith about that...

@kawaiipunk ?
I think they're trying their best, really
@f0x I have lots of usability criticisms of their project.
I'd love to see them competing with Signal but its super far away right IMO.
@kawaiipunk oh sure from a usability perspective I fully understand. High hopes for the future, either from the matrix foundation or others like me implementing stuff :)
@f0x like I think Signal should be critiqued fully for their position but I also didn't agree with any of those three responses.
For me, the only way to beat Signal at its own game is to replace its server component with a P2P system whilst still adopting the same usability principles.
Otherwise all the alternatives will just be playing catch up for a long time.
@f0x @GreenandBlack @qyliss
Matrix there doing their usual thing of promising everything to everybody.
