I've tried Signal a few times and I always end up dropping it. It lacks many things from Telegram that I'd rather not live without. There's nothing I message to anyone that I wouldn't say in a public setting, so I don't see a need to forgo good features for privacy.

  What kind of statement is that? There's a lot of room between "I would say in public anything I message to my contacts" and "I am willing to dump all my messages and send them to an online rando to do whatever they please". Try engaging in good faith.

    There is literally no room between "saying something in public" and "saying something to the whole world". Public means on the cover of the NYTimes and on the public record forever.

      So do I understand you do not want these conversations to be read by anyone except you and the recipient? If you don't mind please send the link to a backup of your message I promise I would not read them but I want to make sure you have nothing to hide. Just in case.

      No, public literally just means "in a place that isn't private". It doesn't mean that the utterance will be recorded forever verbatim, or that the scope of the non-private place is "the entire world". New York Times may be public, but so is a cafe in a shopping mall. You cannot claim that the two are one or the same, because they are quite obviously markedly different despite fitting the category.

        But then, he doesn’t want the content to be recorded, ergo he should use signal. No?

    The kind of statement that shows how much of an empty braggadocio it is to say "I don't need privacy because I have nothing to hide".

This "nothing to hide" is such a naïve take. Did the assassinated politicians in Minnesota have anything to hide? Because their data was purchased from data brokers for the hit.
