It's fucked. It's all fucked. Signal is announcing in the newest beta verstion integration of a random crypto shitcoin. Gonna attract all the crazies nobody wants in this.

Gonna trigger a mass exodus after so many years fighting to have people to use the app and all the alternatives are not good enough.

Really tired of changing messaging platforms every 2 years on my life.

@vascorsd signal is centralized who cares if they're attracting the brave boomers

@georgia Most of the world is on centralized services, so if we manage to put people on a centralized service that actually is good for them and they don't have to care about it, overall is a positive net win.

Let's not make the mistake of wanting things to be 100% perfect and not achieve something that is 80% good.

Moving normal people to truly federated or distributed system without solving so many problems in between will still take many many years.

@vascorsd

I wonder which problems you are thinking about. Mind to elaborate?

Also, federated services like are 80% good, with a good client like is these days.
