Isn't signal open source though? I know being open source doesn't magically make it interoperable with other services but even if Signal or Whisper systems sell out, someone could just fork the projects
All your contacts will still be gone when their servers shut down.
So? Data permanence isn’t the main idea of Signal.
Now everyone is using WhatsApp again and all energy that went towards convincing everyone to use Signal is lost. A better use of that energy would have been be to promote provider independent internet standards.
Not in my social circles.
