I'm here to say this is a welcome addition. I've received 2 spam messages in the last few months, which is an increase from 0 in the last few years I've used Signal. I'm glad they're getting ahead of this cat and mouse game and hope people don't get all paranoid. The client is still open source. Your payloads are all still E2EE.
Fair argument tho.
There are ways to figh spam without going closed source, although the lient is open source and E2EE its still necessary to have everything open
Can you explain what the other ways are? Because I've seen everyone talking bad about this, but nobody offering real alternatives.
I can kind of agree here. It's an odd situation. But until, they are trustworthy, I support them.
