    Instead of dismissing Signal, I wonder if it could be changed to support a federated model.

    Just a thought, because Signal has seen widespread adoption. Getting people to change their messenger is hard.

      What about a peer-to-peer model with relay servers like SimpleX?

        Maube but Simplex really sucks balls IMO

      Signal is against federation.

      Signal is used by government officials. You make your own conclusions.
