Good point - I agree, should have phrased better.
> We already have a discovery feature in Signal
Another point I should have been more clear. I agree that contact discovery is ... well, discovery! I think what I meant is that right now you can only discover folks you already know (i.e.: have the number for) but you don't get recommendations.
So yeah... I'd say that one of the major points distinguishing Signal from a Social Media (at least one of the definitions of) is the lack of recommendations of new people to follow or things to discover. Signal in that sense is a communication platform.

You mean if Signal is or isn't a Social media? Or it's run by the feds?
I mean I replied to the above company with a serious comment but I thought the original one was not particularly useful to any discussion around Stories per se.
