There's the problem. I never said that or indeed anything like it. Quotes are really out of line there. Eg Never mentioned TFA. Never said complaints were invalid, never described all reproach as trivial in comparison.

> your complaints are entirely valid and I was saying this all along.

Nope not that either. Actually read it again maybe, just what it actually says?

When considering criticism of decisions that led to a billion people using e2e encryption and not mentioning that those decisions directly led to a billion people using e2e encryption then yeah, maybe think about whether that criticisim has been well thought out. At the time of writing there were about 50-100 comments all critical of signal policy and app functioning with nobody mentioning even once that maybe some aspects of that policy, yeah, they actually worked a little bit in a way that was pretty useful.

>It's also possible I just missed the entire point of GGP entirely, for which I apologize if so.

Fair. I'm sure that's general it should be and not directed to me.
