Better than Firefox being blocked in Russia. Addons can be added from files anyway.

This. Nowadays people mostly buy TVs when their old ones break. There's no marginal improvement. The industry is here to stay, but its high growth days are in the past.

Probably has something to do with fewer political posts

From my experience of getting other people on Signal, the main issue is that not everyone is already on it. People generally want to use only one app and it attracts them to the most popular one because they don't need to switch as much.

Secondary issues are:

  • No automatic phone transfer (no cloud backups, has to be done manually)
  • No large public channels

I might add another one, but it applies to WhatsApp too - it's crazy that there's still no easy way to move between iOS and Android...

I suspect a lot of CSAM searches come from underage users themselves

Wdym "boring", what do you want a messenger app to do? It does what it's there for and it does it well.

Use HDDs for linear read/write (files) and SSDs for IOPS (databases)

Make phone numbers optional and add a setting to allow/forbid accounts with no phone number to message you. I bet phone numbers have zero effect on the level of spam.
