Sounds like sunk cost. What are your chances to influence Signal leadership in any way? A better idea would be to use internet standands for messaging to avoid vendor lock-in.

I agree in general, but can you offer a current project that is reasonably secure, relatively easy to install and use and built on actual standards?

That list is still short. I would love to be able to return to pidgin days, where all I had to connect my various accounts >.>

I do not know if the issue is that some the features are just incompatible with standards?

Sadly, the biggest problem is inertia.

Thank you. I will test it out. It actually may hit the spot.
