Well, it's not exactly about privacy. But it does need a lot more time to develop before it is ready for 'mainstream' use, right now it's very niche, they haven't figured out how to get the same profile on multiple devices, there's no proper ipad support and because it's niche only tech people use it and thus I'm not interested in it until the average user can and will use it easily as I like all my friends etc to be on things I use.
Plus it doesn't have as many audits, as say, signal, so that's a big hmmm in my book. Yes, it's not been around as long, so that might not be fair, but it has a lot of things to fix before it's worth using.
Also, it really needs more 'fun' features, like signal has before most average people will use it. I think it also needs to figure out things like calling, especially group, but I cannot remember if that's still accurate or not.
Oh, also, I remember there was a big concern about funding because they went commercial instead of doing the right thing and starting a foundation or some such.
Okay so its absolute trash at best.
