Some people really don’t like celebrating diversity for some reason.

I’m not bagging on signal, here, since I use it too. But what about xmpp? It does e2ee, right?

Should be, but sometimes it just isn’t. I’ve definitely had plenty of times where I was like, oh shit, the only place I have that information is in this chat somewhere.

Other people, kind of like me, are just data hoarders. Just because I can’t think of a use of the data now, doesn’t mean I won’t be able to think of one in the future! I have piles of old inboxes in my archives.

AFAICT, TikTok didn’t have to do anything. Looks like the law is all about preventing distribution of the app. So… why’d they shut it down?
