    That’s quite a strong endorsement for Signal.

        He has a very low bar by most of the developed world’s standards, but he refused to lower it further for maga, so he’s history now.

          He was a conservative, not a MAGA supporter in my opinion. At the end of the day I have to see it as conservatives have ideals that do not align with mine, but MAGA is a group that believes that their ideals matter more than the people’s freedoms. They believe tearing apart a representative democracy is fine, so long as their ideology prospers at the moment, but it is VERY short sighted as their ideology isn’t why the leaders of MAGA is reforming it. Once they have reformed it the conservatives who supported MAGA will no longer have much say in anything, their votes won’t matter. The oligarchs will decide what size rations they/we deserve, and we all know those rations are shrinking and shrinking.

      The people who unfortunately have to get government updates from the place. After Facebook became a pain, Twitter became (for a while, when you didn’t have to log in) a pretty decent way to update people on things like roadworks or weather warnings.

    They fear open source software because it is one of the only thing that threatens their technofascist hegemony.

    This only further proves that we are investing in platforms that are chipping away at them.

    Didn’t the MAGA insurrection use Signal to coordinate their efforts?

    Wait wait…yes, follow dear leader to an app that keeps your history and doesn’t encrypt at rest. You have nothing to hide and nothing to fear.
