You know what? It's not part of my argument that I'm above all the vitriol and venom in amateur secure messaging. You're doing a fine job of positioning yourself right in the middle of it as well. As long as the typical HN reader leaves this thread understanding how much bullshit drama is attached to this field, I don't really care one way or the other what their opinion of me is.
The knives are out for Signal. It's not hard to see that. Of the "independent" messaging schemes, Signal is probably the only one that has a chance of relevance 5 years from now. Everyone else is working on something that will be a checkbox feature for Apple, Google, Microsoft and Facebook in less time than that.
I'm happy about that. Clearly, not everyone else is.
