Under Meredith Whittaker, Signal Is Out to Prove Surveillance Capitalism Wrong
On its 10th anniversary, Signal’s president wants to remind you that the world’s most secure communications platform is a nonprofit. It’s free. It doesn’t track you or serve you ads. It pays its engineers very well. And it’s a go-to app for hundreds of millions of people.

Nobody is going to use Signal when it lacks so many features. Feels like MSN messenger compared to it's peers.
7 62 Replywhat do you mean? i use it a lot and it works great, photos, videos, phone calls, optional temporary location sharing with friends, and encryption.
what features do you want it to have that it's lacking?

Don’t forget voice calls! It has some rough edges there (my audio doesn’t always connect successfully, etc), but when it works the codec sounds better than a standard phone call and there’s no mass surveillance. I use it in place of phone calls for all the people in my network who have it, including my immediate family.

My guess is it heavily private and does not have channels
2 3 Replydoes not have channels
except that it does. you can make a public group with a shareable link, and change permissions so that only the admins can post.
7 0 ReplyYes, different intentions. This is more for private chats.
Telegram and discord are not direct competitors to this. Closest thing to channels will be a group chat.
