From pure interpretation of your answer, i would say you are the snowflake human here.

I guess not wanting to sign up with my email adress on servers administered by god knows who with unknown security practices just to help you makes me a special snowflake then.

Use keepass so you can remember your passwords, dont use the same password everywhere.

No one needs you, it's nice that you live but you are not special like...let's say a snowflake.

Some people go without food. Being too afraid to sign up to a forum has past the point of first world problem.

Obviously; I'm living in the first world, so it shouldn't come as a surprise. It's like saying "Why don't you sell everything you have and dedicate your life to helping those that go without food?" And I'm actually one of those few people who do donate to a charity on a monthly basis. Do you do that? I'm doing that because it costs me money, not time, since I do have enough of the former, not the latter. Which brings…

It's possible to create a trashmail or other addresses...yes that's possible.

Some people have no food, therefore other people should be obliged to do security research for free, while conforming to the whims of any project they encounter.

>security research for free

He makes no "security research" if he just makes reports on github...he's a troll and nothing else.

For a year, they have been reporting reports of the issue wit the IME keyboards. See: https://community.signalusers.org/t/signal-should-warn-users... If you are serious about privacy and secure messenger, you just can't brush off such issues. [1] https://twitter.com/realsexycyborg/status/119769536810582425...

Of course they’re brushing this off, there’s simply nothing they can do to solve the problem of compromised platforms. Signal should focus on problems they can realistically solve.

Adding a warning is not unrealistic and unsolvable.

A warning was added a few weeks ago :)
