There are over 200 open pull requests in GitHub for the Signal Android app, ones dating back to 2015. Instead, stupid shit (stickers, crypto, etc) is being introduced, and actual discussions around fundamental changes to make Signal better and more private are being ignored.

Lots of people are trying to contribute, but Signal is more and more becoming a black box, I say this as a t-shirt wearing (Open Whisper Systems) advocate, Signal is falling out of favor with many "OG" advocates.
