It kinda works because a moose and a deer are similar if not for the size, and both rain and rivers have water. It became a rain-deer.
Terrible pun, sue me.

So it's a misstranslated joke then. With that information it's kinda funny or at least it makes sense.
Would they? Signal could make this a choice per user. As in, you as a signal user don't enable it so they can't msg you, but they can enable it from signal to talk to you and their social circle all at once.
This a really easy issue to fix for signal.
Signal could enable it on a per-user basis. Why would your friends keep using signal? Because you would not enable it so they won't be able to talk to you. However, they can now enable it and keep talking to everyone else, so they might decide to delete WhatsApp with in time.
You don't understand. This is not for you, the signal user, to speak with WhatsApp users. This is for you to convince them to swap to signal and keep talking to other WhatsApp users. The more people change, the less information will go through meta. Lowering the barrier to swap apps is great.
To send messages, the third-party providers have to construct message protobuf structures which are then encrypted using the Signal Protocol and then packaged into message stanzas in eXtensible Markup Language (XML).
Meta servers push messages to connected clients over a persistent connection. Third-party servers are responsible for hosting any media files their client applications send to Meta clients (such as image or video files). After receiving a media message, Meta clients will subsequently download the encrypted media from the third-party messaging servers using a Meta proxy service.
This is only for messages sent to WhatsApp, right now you are force to use their app to chat with WhatsApp users, which is worse than the proposal.
Why would your signal to signal data be even sent to WhatsApp? Only the signal to WhatsApp and WhatsApp to signal data would go through meta servers... If that's not how it's being designed, it's a failed feature ofc.
This is not federation, this is signal being able to send message to a WhatsApp server and WhatsApp being able to interpret it to send it to a WhatsApp user. WhatsApp wouldn't know more than what it already knows when you inevitably need to use the app to reply to your grandma or whatever.
A big plus however is that you can convince friends and family to switch since they would be able to keep chatting with their family and friends, so the entry barrier lowers by a ton.
This is not federation and it is great.
Because I found my brain's fuckup funny and I wanted to share it with the word.
It's been a thing for a while with rolling distros, let's hope the release based ones ship it and their the flatpak issues so most users can enjoy sharing the screen with friends soon.
