You know, for a free speech supporter, he sure seems to hate it when people speak freely.

He wants to speak freely, but he doesn't want to afford anyone else the same right.
It's not an uncommon stance, but it's a hypocritical one.

Time to create redsky, yellowsky, and pinksky URL forwarders

Yes, but then last year he started saying it had known vulnerabilities that weren’t being fixed, around the same time Telegram was attacking Signal’s credibility. I seem to remember him outright endorsing Telegram but have only done a quick search and that hasn’t popped up.

So what’s the opinion here between Signal and SimpleX?
Signal gets all the attention, and seems more approachable but ties to a phone number which can be a big deal.
SimpleX ties to nothing but I could absolutely see people I know fucking it up and wondering where their “account” went.
So, Signal as an common man’s adoptable compromise and SimpleX to nerd out with full “opsec” and disposability? That about right?

I think we need laws against platforms censoring discussion of their rivals, particularly with shadow bans and shadow delistings.
