HN doesn’t like hearing this, but e2e encryption is kind of an anti-feature for the vast majority of users. The usability tradeoff is real, and most folks don’t care at all about the privacy/security side.

Thing is, both can be achieved, but tg doesn't want to implement e2ee by default and signal doesn't want to implement a proper sync mechanism bc of some extra security(imo it's bs, extra security can be achieved with a proper implementation)
