    Then it's weird they are fixing it now. Why aren't they insisting this doesn't need to be dealt with because it was a feature, not a bug?

    It's weird that apps sometimes change scope and add features that users want? Ones that contributers already did most of the work for?

    Why aren’t they insisting this doesn’t need to be dealt with because it was a feature, not a bug?

    That was literally what they have been saying this whole fucking time.

    It's really fucking annoying how relentlessly you pick fights with people these days. Wish you'd chill out dude.

    Not picking a fight; don't really care what you have to say in response. Just needed to share my observation that you are latching onto people in a really aggressive manner in multiple threads as of late. If that doesn't bother you then go ahead and disregard.

    You are right to bringing up this issue and it is pretty fucking big deal inho mistakes happen but signal "leadership" has made series of questionable choice which don't quite align with the user base.

    Other person is down playing it hard too. Hard to tell why as he is not really providing any good reason besides trying to "explain" it away
