Wanja@signalapp Help, Signal is corresponding with me via Fedi, is this a phishing attempt?

@signalapp Wait, because like others I need to make sure - is this a scam?

The signal team are the only folks i would gladly invite into my DMs. But sadly, or happily, i dunno, their ethics are at too high of a level to do such a thing....
Keep on being awesome Signal! ♥️👍

@signalapp So far, it's looking like Signal also will never release an app on phones that aren't Android or iPhone. 🤷♀️

@signalapp but what is your stance on hurting and lying to us? saying goodbye or making us cry? deserting us or running around?

@signalapp Then why do you demand a #PhoneNumber in the first place?
Djoerd Hiemstra 🍉@signalapp Awesome, finally I can contact signal on https://delta.chat !
@signalapp you are lying by omnission and technicality because why else do you demand a #PhoneNumber and mandate users to grant access to a devices' camera just to let them use more than the one device they currently use?
- You could've easily allowed either importing the QR-Code or offered a #Pubkey-ID to type in. But you chose neither…

My [reservations](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114234551915193036) and [criticism](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114862595629371002) re: #Signal are not just valid, but the reality is *even worse than I thought*: - The fact that @[email protected] requires not only their shitty #Android #App, and a #PhoneNumber but literally won't allow people to use their shitty #Desktop-App unless they have an Android device with a camera pointed at it makes it utterly unuseable for certain users *who don't have a fucking #camera in their Android*… Seriously, do they expect folks to deal with that shit? - It's already worse in terms of #UX than #telegram and #discord and that too makes #XMPP+#OMEMO clients like @[email protected] / #monoclesChat & @[email protected] / #gajim easier and faster to onboard #TechIlliterates onto. - Whichever asshole decided that a *replacement for #SMS* should mandate #PII like a #PhoneNumber & not be natively cross-platform should be banned from doing any #tech in their life. Trying to circumvent this shit and helping folks with it makes me so fucking angry that I'm now explicitly refusing to support it! FIX THAT SHIT, @[email protected], and if it means you need to kick some devs in their crouch then consider this a necessary *"investment"*… #sarcasm #TechSupport #TalesFromTechSupport #Enshittification #SignalSucks #TelegramSucks #Messengers

Signal selected Google Gmail as their email provider.
Consider asking for a public PGP encryption key if you are concerned about Google accessing the content of your message, this can provide end-to-end encryption of the message content but the metadata will be available to Google.
Signal: Please publish a key on your website.
