i have so much fun in public websites seeing americans fight over right and left. its good entertainment. keep it up.

anyways. It will be really difficult to convince my friends to remain on signal. At least they are technically sound. Thinking an excuse to come up with though. i donated money today too.

Indeed. Especially considering that US left would be sort of mid-right, or at best centre-right in most parts of the world.

I should leave because some people I’ll never talk to on it have right wing views?

> also being swamped with right wingers

So is Signal. 'right wingers' are everywhere.

Right. But one of these is secure and the other isn’t. State action against telegram is eminent.

These users who are coming from these platforms (WhatsApp, Telegram) don't care about that. If Signal is still unable to stay online then the users will leave and they will try the second best option. (Even if it is less secure).

This has now become a usability and reliability issue for Signal.

Yeah; almost half the users are right of center.
