For the Signal enthusiasts in your life :)
@djsumdog
Prove it
@djsumdog I've seen all those before. FUD propaganda BS by hack "journalists"
A literal US intelligence agent working in digital censorship now chairs their board. Even if they weren't always compromised, they certainly are now.

@nicholas @djsumdog it's like saying because one employee at our natural health food store worked for a Burger King 10 years ago when they were in high school, that means all the healthy stuff doesn't work.
Utterly absurd the lengths that people go to denigrate good tech as opposed to what? The security joke that is Telegram‽
You ask for proof, and we give you proof and then you said, "your proof is bullshit," and you're obviously refusing to read it.

It's literally the opposite of that. It's like the CTO of Burger Kang taking a job as the CFO of McDonalds. Katherine Maher isn't a low ranking cashier. She's a high ranking, c-suite, decision making person who's been at Mozilla, Wikipedia and NPR .. a government invested spooky piece of shit.
You do not care about finding out the truth. You have an idea in your head and you have dismissed everything that contradicts your own narrative story. You are a religious follower of the Church of Signal.
And I've made it clear, I think Signal is likely secure (I could be wrong) due to the 3rd party researchers who've tore it apart for fun and open source projects like Molly. But just like TOR, it's in government interests to make secure encrypted public projects like this because the general public is now using a service they can hide clandestine operations behind.
So it can be both secure/useful AND a government tool. Both work in this situation.
@djsumdog they get their money from a $50 million grant from Brian Acton and donations. They've been very open and published all their financials if you just look it up.
@signalapp What's with the white on white and black on black? They look like blank tshirts on the web.
@grey @signalapp it literally represents privacy...
@joel @signalapp Hard to represent anything when nobody can see it
@grey @signalapp exactly, like nobody can see your chats because they're encrypted ;)
It's meant to be stealthy...
@joel @signalapp Lol that's fair I guess. I just would've liked to be less private about my usage of signal if I'm spending that much on a t-shirt I'd love to see a blue on white or blue on black version.
@grey @signalapp that's fair enough! I personally don't like branded shirts, I prefer cool designs and such. But this one I like because the logo is hidden but I know it's there, idk
@joel @signalapp I'm glad it's able to fit some people's style. I'll probably just keep donating in the app.
@signalapp Great! Now make some good ones!
I mean, white logo on white shirt? Is that some play on how nobody can read my communications?
@yngmar @signalapp it's a play on how it's incognito, nobody knows about your chats, its stealthy
@joel @signalapp But surely the point of wearing a Signal t-shirt is to advertise Signal to those who do not yet know of it.
@yngmar @signalapp or just to support them by buying their merch.
I personally dislike clothes with big logos on it, it's meant to be hard to notice, but *you know it's there* so it's cool
@signalapp Do you have plans to restock the technicolor shirts?
»We use Shopify to power our online store.«
#Shopify gets a solid "Grade E" rating on ToS;DR, which is the worst possible: "The terms of service raise very serious concerns."
@katzenberger @signalapp Yeah, not good enough, Signal. Also you have to opt out of being sold to third parties. Looks more like a scam than realz.
@katzenberger @signalapp plus Shopify COO direct link to propaganda True North news, Shopify far right Nazi content
@signalapp
I would love some fun pins or quality stickers, I have enough shirts and jumpers (especially black/white)
Sells pins that look like ikons you give to those who donate?
@signalapp Long sleeve natural would be peachy with the simple logo, nothing else. But that one nobody connects with Signal.
@signalapp How about some mugs? (:
When it comes to clothes I'd suggest you take a look at the ones of @kagihq
Clean, funny and short & concise
Yours are a little bit too "wordy" for my taste :(
@signalapp Why is all this merch so lame, though? Hard pass.

@signalapp I'd be enthusiastic about Signal if SMS support wasn't removed from the app. It gave me more incentive to use Signal and share it with others. It was also the *only* SMS app that just worked, FOSS or otherwise.
