Man, I haven't seen a goat.se in years
That's probably the only reason I clicked it. Honestly, kinda regret that I did because the author just seems like a dude yelling at the sky because he's wildly critical of the smallest things but doesn't offer up any solutions.
So you're disappoint it wasn't a rickroll of the original image?
No I think he clearly said he's disappointed by the low quality content.
The original, while disgusting, was not low quality content.
I (wrongly) assumed that if he was hilarious to have made that graphic, that he'd maybe be more reasonable, hopefully funny. I was disappoint.
It did kick off me spending about 2 hours comparing Signal to SimpleX, and Briar, and a bunch of others, and I can only conclude Signal is the best out of them. The security community seems to be REALLY paranoid about every, single, tiny little thing - but I understand that they must be.
SimpleX doesn't do any kind of IP address masking or have quantum resistant double ratchet encryption.
Briar doesn't account for rogue-tor nodes, etc.
There's just always some big glaring flaw in one of them.
