Some version of this post seems to circulate every few months or so. This one is more direct in its accusations of Moxie acting in bad faith. I think this is disingenuous. Moxie has been very clear[0] about the tradeoffs that Signal has made and the reasons for them. It's fine to be dissatisfied with those choices. It's another thing entirely to accuse Moxie of dissimulating.
Personally, I'd like to see Signal replace WhatsApp. That's why I support the path Signal took, and why I also have a distaste for the author's snarky dismissals of features like GIF search.
