perhaps said too much on a whim, but why should I backup my Signal... or WhatsApp, or any other communications. live in the moment. let things pass. there is probably no fortune hidden in it anyway... | ||

IIRC, that used to be the opinion of the Signal project as well, but backups are such a requested feature it looks like they've finally decided to offer it. | ||

If you don't want to back it up, don't back it up. I'd like to replace all my SMS usage with Signal. I have every text message and photo I've ever sent/received. I want to do the same with Signal. | ||

As an example that I experienced, I wanted a picture that someone took 2 years ago and sent to me on Signal. Since I am a data hoarder, I was able to retrieve it. | ||
