However, Signal has its own failings as well. From what I understand, it:
* Refuses to federate.
* Hostile to independent clients.
* Run as a one-man show.
That's not Facebook-bad, but it's sad that Signal is consistently exhibiting this attitude, meaning that it can't be a good basis for personal instant messaging going into the future.
Hang on, that doesn't feel like great logic to use.
With no explanation as to why those points are bad, is it not the same as just saying, "Facebook and Signal both have websites, host a mobile app, and use the colour blue in their branding, and since everyone agrees Facebook is bad then Signal must be, too"?
