> With their many millions of USD, Signal has "very limited time and resources"? I'm surprised.

This comment makes Signal looks like a rich, for-profit corporation. Either you're spending more time writing these comments than researching the corresponding information, or you're trolling.

Making money from the small and yet heavily fragmented "Linux Desktop" is very difficult and you must know at least that. So you're most likely trolling.

No need to be aggressive or reproachful. Thank you.

Of course, they are free to spend their money as they like, but "very limited time and resources" is just not as realistic as "prioritizing only Android and iOS". Sure, they have their reasons for that, but as I'm myself not an Android (nor iOS) user, I can't use (or recommend) their software.

Don't thank me because to be very clear I do think that your assumptions, inaccuracies, narrow perspectives and other misrepresentations are indeed "reproachable"; even when not intentional.

Apologies for assuming you were trolling.

Feel free to correct me.

Accepted.

PS: This works for me: I try to not get angry, if people have dissenting opinions from my own, even if I'm sure, that they are misinformed. If I have time and energy for a discussion, I try to correct them, or learn, that they are correct. In most cases, there is no "correct", just different points of view and different priorities. I try to not become personal and refrain from any statements, that make too many assumptions about the person I'm talking to or their background and behaviour.
