@derekmorr @mansr @Mer__edith @dalias MobileCoin wasn't "their token". It was a partnership with the company MobileCoin. All Signal did was build an opt-in wallet compatible with it.

@renardboy @Mer__edith You only need a smartphone to register the account. The QR code when first opening the Desktop app is the account authentication so you can use it on Desktop, and the Desktop app will stay alive as long as you open it once every 30 days and the account on the phone stays active.

@melroy @Mer__edith Signal is a charity and therefore has no profit-motive, unlike Facebook. Signal is also not run by an egomaniac, unlike Facebook.

@Singolzd @Mer__edith The group limit is 1000.

@mansr @dalias @Mer__edith Even though it does nothing by default because it's off by default? Strange logic.

@Duckbill4994 @Mer__edith Facebook is for-profit. Signal is a charity. They're not incentived to be lying cunts like Zuckerberg.

@can @Mer__edith It's a wallet.

@melroy @Mer__edith Before Facebook bought them they did. But Facebook bought them, so ads in WhatsApp was an inevitability. They tricked 3B people.

@ronnylam @Mer__edith Good thing it's end-to-end encrypted, so none of that matters, unless you hand over your unlocked phone to the cops.

@renardboy @Mer__edith SMS is 40 years old and not at all technically capable of something like this. It was an accidental invention and has never been updated.
