It is an American company, therefore bound to US law, which means NSA involvement, which means guaranteed backdoors to encryption.

That’s a very strong assertion and, given an open-source client and a documented protocol, one that is very easy to prove if true. So I presume you can point at what, in the Signal protocol, is a backdoor in the encryption.

I just wanted to say: it's great seeing the first screenshot on macOS, and thank you all for making the effort to create great cross-platform software.

It's far easier to convince someone to move to a different OS if all of their existing apps work. Replacing each program that they depend on one at a time can be done slowly, over multiple years, and at some point you realise that you're not locked into an OS at all.

@cybernews@infosec.exchange If critical infrastructure is vulnerable to attacks by teenagers, I’m sure it will be totally fine against a nation-state adversary.
