Signal is gaining the network effect. Session is not. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough.

To be fair, variety makes groups more resilient. If Signal were to ever become compromised somehow, people who use other apps like Session will be okay.

It's not a zero-sum game, either -- people can use Signal and other apps.
