Katherine Maher? The US State Department definitely-not-a-spook one? The one that was at Wikipedia and "spent time in Syria and Lybia"?
Sounds wonderful for a messaging system that is going to be definitely trusted not to be manipulated by the USA.
One thing Id really like to see is cross OS transfer. I feel Im locked in to my OS because of Signal right now as Ill lose messages. There are some messages I dont want lost and sadly having them in signal is a bummer.
This is where whatsapp just excels
With moxie gone, will signal remove the cryptocoin shit?
Glad to hear Moxie's out. As a reminder, Signal didn't publish the source for their server-side from 20 April 2020 to 6 April 2021 [0] while they secretly added a cryptocurrency payment system to which Moxie was a paid technical advisor [1], which Moxie denied they were doing in January 2021 [2].

Does anyone have any insight on the new board members?
Good for privacy?
Wow, did not realize Moxie was doing something else...when did he step back?
Maybe we’ll finally get a backup feature on iOS?

If nothing else, I've learned a man with the name "Moxie Marlinspike" exists today.
Seeing usage statistics, it seems that signal is dying slowly. It boomed during covid but almost no new chat is started there nowadays.
I see some comments saying they are happy moxie is out. I for one am saddened.
I trusted signal in part due to his persona. And his in your face attitude towards that one company that provided software to law enforcement that claimed to hack signal.
