I wish I could be as pleased with it. I don’t want to pay for a service and have that service still collect data on me to push ads elsewhere.

I wasn’t just talking about blockage but also servers being taken down physically or via ISP. I don’t think I’m nearly as well versed in Signal as you are to go into depth of how it circumvents blockage via protocols but I assume they don’t decentralize their hosts.

It makes a difference in that you have to play perpetual whack-a-mole not only with VPN’s but with hosting servers.
