The only feature I can think of since that growth annoys the shit out of me. They've started syncing notification settings, so I can either have both my laptop and my phone beeping or none. Combine that with working within a small team that primarily uses Signal and it's absolutely terrible. Leave them off and you'll miss something important. Leave them on and my phone beeps after work hours. And since there's nothin…

Yeah the syncing issue has been hitting me more. Not as bad as Slack though, but still enough that where I've answered something on my desktop it'll still ring my phone. It's better than Slack because this is at least 10 minutes after I responded on desktop). I'll admit that I'm willing to give Signal more leeway than Slack because they're small. But these things hinder growth. But the features I've seen since growth…

I’m with you... so much for “the ecosystem is moving”. Matrix is moving faster than them.

I don't think Matrix is there yet. But it's clear that they are catching up. We'll see if they have the same growing problems. I was really hoping Signal would use the centralization to advance faster and then when it was fully featured open up to allowing other servers. But you know... they got to grow first.

Any strong evidence of this? I mean actual links or investigations proving that? Or are you deliberately spreading unsubstantiated claims?

Strong evidence? Good luck with that. However, if a service costs millions per month to even exist and yet it is free to use, something does not add up. Or do you honestly believe that there is such thing as “free lunch”?
