I really like using #XMPP, but the XMPP fans claiming "Signal isn't secure because it's centralised" are annoying.

It's like saying "Potatoes are not vegetables because they contain starch, just like noodles". It makes NO sense to say that.

Centralised services can be very secure, they just have different issues. Censorship could occur, for example, also downtimes.

And that coming from people often claiming that verifying fingerprints is "unnecessary" because "XMPP is secure".

What the hell?
