Just don't use it, don't generate cost for them, don't be trapped by them. Everyone wins.

The 50 million using them all lose because they are locked into a monopolistic platform.

they can communicate to anyone with WhatsApp, SMS, iMessage.... This is a closed system, not a monopoly.

Nobody is locked into Signal. It's free to use, and free to leave.

That’s not how platform lock-in works.

You can export to markdown apparently. Who's locked in? It might be a pain to import that into any other app but I don't think any messaging app is going to make that easy. You still have all your data if you want to bail

Sure. But honestly, what are you hoping for, and does any app provide it? Honest question.

I'd prefer a JSON dump but something's better than nothing.
