Granted, the part
The globally recommended app by privacy and security experts, Signal, is now being downloaded massively and tops the Danish Google Play Store
is a little ironic, but you gotta push this winning tide and then work from that.

It is the least evil for the ignorant technology end user.
Problem is if they change to Signal now they are less likely to change again to something “better”.
There’s no better. When that hopeful better comes we will all think about it.
Telegram is still better, while not being ideal, of course. But at least its servers aren’t located in the USA.
The ideal options are decentralized/p2p, but for now they have very few users (not many less than Signal, to be fair).
telegram is the absolute wirst when it comes to constant spam from scams and bullshit group chats… it’s an utter cesspool.
pretty big fan of http://delta.chat/ secure and decentralised
They are supreme denialists and try to gaslight people into believing that Foward Security is a thing you don’t need. I may have it installed and the ui is cute enough, but I can’t even consider it hitting close to the level of security Signal employs. It’s basically a toy experiment.
bummer, i had not realised that forward security was not there :/
sounds like its a while off.

I went there to read it again and their position changed recently. So it’s not there, but now they claim that a design is planned to include it in the future, maybe, eventually. Which is better than before since they were really trying to tell people with manyyyy arguments why we shouldn’'t need it, which was a completely insane position to have in the world we live in.
Why do you think that? The owner of it is alt right and the fascists are using it. Why feel safe on it? Doesn’t make sense.
