I use a patched Signal client that disables retention deletion and remote delete messages.

and that's awfully rude of you, but if you were concerned about message retention you wouldn't do that. so what's your point?

  • Nothing rude about it -- if the protocol depends on client-side s/w to pinky-swear it respects message retention, then it's an insecure protocol.

    I like signal and use it, but I already thought message retention was pointless. It seems at best a trusted informal protocol you can use with known parties but not something you can really rely on.
