I also though Signal was already FOSS.\n\nuninvitedfriend:\n\n> I haven’t actually tested this, because I’m the one in my circles who made them use Signal\n\nI see.\n\nuninvitedfriend:\n\n> If I’m to tell them I can bypass this, it would leave a bad taste for them and they might feel confirmed to stay with WhatsApp. (As paradoxical as this is to us folks.)\n\nYeah, I can definitely imagine such a scenario. You’re not using the official app, you’re using a different one which gives you more control than the average user. I wonder if Signal is aware of this feature in their forks.\n\nIf you don’t use these features at all, I can see why you would deem it unnecessary to alert your contacts, but the second you use it, even if it’s just with one person who happens to a colleague, it becomes incumbent upon yourself to tell all your contacts IMHO.\n\nIf I was in your circle and knew that you used this feature with someone else, it wouldn’t matter that you promised not to use it with me, even if that promise was sincere.\n\n**Why did you opt for Signal-FOSS instead of the original app?**",
