My Open Letter to Signal:
> Hi Guys and Gals 👋
>
> I just wanted to bring to your attention that Signal is being talked about openly on Yarn.social (https://yarn.social) -- An open privacy focused and decentralised micorBlogging social media I launched in July 2020.
>
> Please have a read of https://twtxt.net/conv/wt5j2xq
>
> This Yarn (as we call it) has numeric forks (sub-topics) already and is becoming quite controversial.
>
> A couple ofthose controversial topics are Signals's plans for:
>
> - Introducing some kind of SPAM filter.
>
> At first I thought to myself, this is utter BS; since you can't do SPAM filtering on ciphertext where the keys on with the client, not Signal. But then I read a bit more and it seems you're attempting to solve a problem I've also been a victim of, but not that often.
>
> Can we talk about this one in the open and potentially persuade you guys down a different direction?
>
> - MobileCoin
>
> I'm not even sure what this is why Signal feels the need to be in the "Mobile Payments" market.
>
> Care to explain why we need this? In the spirit of openness and transparency, I wholeheartedly believe Signal should continue to remain being good at one thing and one thing only
>
> Protecting the privacy, security and freedoms of individuals and groups to communicate with one another.
>
> Finally I am a big proponent of Signal and what you guys do. I encourage all those around me to be on Signal and use Signal in their daily lives.
>
> Let's continue down this journey together 🤗
>
> Kind regards
>
> James

Good, fair, stuff. Will be interesting what their response is.
I am afraid your query will not get anywhere. I will be surprised if you get a cookie cutter reply. Was it worth the try? Certainly.
@prologic (#l5ospaq) my lack of faith on the human race. 😂
I hit fork, and see how the twt came out above. 🤔
@prologic Reading the white paper for MobileCoin here and the site in general, it _seems_ a lot better than most of the crypto stuff out there. Anyone else that reads it that sees any red flags, I'm all ears though.
Whether one actually _wants_ crypto anything in their messenger is another thing entirely though...
@prologic Did you bypass the character limit?
@fastidious Yeah I admit my own syncism is growing of late too 😢
