Half of Bluesky wants federal workers on Signal so they can leak info to the press and avoid FOIA. The other half is mad that federal workers are on Signal because they are leaking info to the press and avoiding FOIA. 🤷🍿

To be more charitable, it's really just: sabotage the things I don't like, stop sabotaging the things I like.

Ok yeah, but what exactly do neutral tools like Signal have to do with any of it? Just a red herring.

I mean...90% of ProPublica's posts on Bluesky over the past 2 months have been asking federal workers to text their Signal tip line. Not to mention like every other news org doing the same thing. You haven't seen this?

WTF can you link to a single person who thinks federal workers should be using signal to avoid FOIA? This is a very weird thing to both-sides
