That’s a fair criticism. I prefer using Session with better multiple device support and without waiting for Signal to finally stop using phone numbers.
When using either, disappearing messages should be enabled.
The part about PFS falls down, for me, when you assume both that keys can be cracked in some shorter than normal time-frame, and that the new key (per message, or less often) won’t also be cracked quickly.
Here are the links to the documentation for these standards:
MLS - https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/mls/documents/
Signal Protocol - https://www.signal.org/docs/
RCS - https://www.gsma.com/futurenetworks/rcs/universal-profile/ & https://www.gsma.com/futurenetworks/resources/rcs-up-2-4-uni/
Accessing the keys from the server isn’t really a mystery or hidden. It’s technically possible for Apple to write software to query servers run by Google as well as any servers they created for themselves.
You don’t need implementation source code when you have open standards already.
WhatsApp actually used Signal’s development team to rollout the Signal protocol for them, but that app is still untrustworthy.
What kind of openness are you hoping for? Google has built their solution with a bunch of already open pieces.
RCS + Signal protocol + MLS

You’re simply wrong about that.
> As many as 63% of users worldwide rely on the default texting app on their cell phones. The remainder of the texting market is split between the most popular messaging apps such as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, etc
> 37% of consumers prefer to use instant messaging apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger to communicate with companies, while 31% prefer text/ SMS

I’d argue the percentage wasn’t small. The available population was Android users with SMS contacts.
Either way, it was an unforced error for the Signal leadership that gave away their competitive advantage in their home field to mainly Google and Facebook apps.
There is no way to convince me to go back to supporting Signal after that blunder. They destroyed my secure contacts network in less than two months after the announcement.
That’s a great recommendation!
I suspect they mean it’s not just continuing a project that protestors managed to get suspended after Chernobyl or Three-Mile Island or Fukushima.
A new project with a new reactor design that was actually seen through to the point of producing electricity has been more challenging in the USA than it should ever have been.
That seems completely forgivable when compared to Florida and the men they keep electing governor of that state.
One eVinci micro reactor is enough for 5,000 homes a year and doesn’t depend on weather.
So, instead of manufacturing each of these giant blades that might last 20 years, we should instead be manufacturing three microreactors that are much smaller and easier to transport.
You can pull new images while the old ones continue running happily. That docker-compose down command is completely unnecessary.
I really want X.org to challenge this move in court and win!
I just tried it. Twitter won’t let me view pages without an account. What do you mean exactly?
Another good video is showing what things look like.

This is a fairly easy answer. Signal refuses to take shortcuts that others are happy to use.
You may find this virtuous, but I’ll argue that it isn’t.
It’s much better to start by having windows that don’t lock than to keep holes in your walls all year while waiting for windows that are insulated, lockable and can be cleaned from the inside.
Signal leaves the holes until they finish the insulated window that also creates electricity.
