Been hearing a lot of FUD about Signal recently and have been wondering where it came from. Seems like it might be connected to this campaign.

Is there much evidence of an "intense campaign"?

I have seen https://twitter.com/matthew_d_green/status/1789690133765091532, but that doesn't quite rise to "intense campaign" levels for me. Also, it seems to me that the recent wave of people caring was triggered by the board of directors stuff, not anything Durov did?

open source / build in public

(I do think that Signal is far more secure than Telegram and would recommend it. My impression is that Telegram continues to be successful at least within crypto because it has better degen-friendly features (group chats, emojis, sticker integrations...))

Yup. Durov argues those features / scale can't be done with E2EE

I'm skeptical. Between the `getDhConfig` issue and the misleading claims about reproducible builds in the OP, I find it hard to trust Durov

Yeah I'm skeptical too.

Personally I continue to hope that @dwr.eth and co step up on making warpcast DMs an ethereum-native encrypted messager (and open source) that we could rally around as a community 🙂
