    I would gladly answer your question, and I know Im going to get downvoted because I won’t exactly answer it.

    I just want to apologize that Im not willing to invest time into re-iterating my thinking into “why I think signal is not ‘fun’ to use”.

    It would require much effort from my time to do that and in detail and we would go back and forth, so I’m just here to apologize for not responding to your question because it’s a great question. I always like to give detailed answers but just not willing to invest my time into this discussion for which Im sorry. I hope you get an answer from somebody else if someone else shares the same opinion.

    For context, and why I’m judging Signal harshly, I’m a software engineer at Powerfactors, and used to be a Frontend developer, now I’m professionally a Backend engineer. And I’ve started as a Fullstack and Freelancer. So I kind of understand both sides and trying to understand the user as well.

    I make my own Project which I re-iterated many times throughout the years to make user friendly and “fun” or easy to use or actually useful for clients to use. So when I use a piece of software I think in detail what could be done better and what could have gone bad from both frontend, backend, and UX/UI and I like the OSX/Apple philosophy on this one. That’s as much as you’re gonna get from me, Im going to re-install Signal again and right a piece of lists coz I know this is gonna take much of my time coz it’s who I am, I like writing detailed essays.
