I will never switch to something that only treats phones as "primary device" and adds extra hassle to support PC as a "secondary device". I also find very concerning the lack of understanding of the value of anonimity even when communications are private, they even mock people that want privacy and anonimity.
another non-deal breaking but still telling issue is the lack of a clear roadmap for signal.
Signal the anonymous messenger asking for your phone # to register... I didn't check if they changed that but it was such a good joke
Who ever said signal is anonymous? Secure, private, encrypted - yes. But definitely not anonymous.
Making an anonymous messenger is surely borderline impossible, somewhere along the chain someone will know who you are.
TOR
On TOR the NSA who control the endpoints know who you are
Okay, but NSA (or any state actor) aren't going to blow their load (tip their hand) by busting anything less than a massive terrorist cell.
