@david_chisnall your reasoning is solid. And yet, I am old enough to remember being told by infosec friends to adopt Signal, way overkill for my infosec needs, to help normalize it so that people with keener needs than mine could hide among the normies. That worked, kind of, better than with PGP plugins on Thunderbird and such, anyway. So yes, you are right, but to some extent this was the result of a consciously made compromise and not a mistake. Or?

It’s still probably the least bad option.
