alt Hacker Newsi think they're replying to the "recommendation" part -- if it was recommended, why isn't it the safe default?
i haven't actually seen signal or anyone adjacent recommend that previously though, idk where that claim came from

Sorry, the “recommended” was a bad wording on my part. The recommendation comes from the 404 Media article who did the expose on this incident, not Signal itself.
I’ve checked the Signal documentation page, and there’s no mention of the privacy implications of the setting: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360043273491-In...
