Signal works just fine, but Signal Desktop doesn't bring over old messages, since they're not stored in the cloud.

Given the number of data breaches the world experiences, I don't want every message thread I'm in available in plaintext on some company's servers. Just imagine an AI processing every conversation you've ever had.

I could imagine easy msg duplication over multiple devices to be a operational vulnerability. But honestly: most people don't need to worry about opsec. And it is very annoying that signal can't allow multidevice and data duplication, even Whatsapp solved that now

It would be nice if Signal supported that, and one day maybe it will, but it's not a dealbreaker for me. My linked devices have all the conversations I care about.

What I do care about is that I'm the only one that can read these messages and that they're a nonprofit funded by donations.
