I was part of a bachelor party, and we had a group chat going. Had Android/iPhone users, so it was just a MMS chat. I suggested we use signal, and one of the iPhone users goes on a rant "I'm not gonna use Signal. It's just a honeypot for the CIA. Why else would they fund it if they didn't get any value out of. It's obviously a honey pot" permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Cort@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (1 child) I'm not gonna use Signal.
