If you read again, we were comparing signal to telegram.
Between those two, Telegram is ranked #3 in the west so it is a defacto mainstream. Whatsapp too, but that isn't really the same as signal.
Just call me when the US arrests Zuckerberg to complain about the privacy on his WhatsApp messengers.
I still find these arguments pointless. WhatsApp/Signal clear #1 by a wide margin, and represent a great level of encryption *for the average person*.
If you want to keep a secret, why do it online? Nerds just tie themselves up in knots over who has the biggest share of zero.
What is pointless is to consider that only something on top is mainstream.
With the same reasoning Twitter isn't mainstream nor Instagram.
You write stuff online privately because it is expensive and difficult to meet in person. This should be obvious, didn't they taught you that at the FBI?
