This post once contained a bad take about Signal in service of a not particularly funny gag. It has been removed.
Signal is definitely not compromised. It has and is being reviewed by many cybersecurity professionals and is considered pretty secure. It has some downsides like its use of centralized servers and some metadata leakage but other than that its solid.
So to update your comment:
"Don't use signal its compromised!"
You're right, of course. I was in a dark place mentally and was spiralling when I wrote that. I will remove it. In hindsight it wasn't even that funny.
Yeah no problem. I wasn't offended or upset but I just wanted to give a correction
