Signal Introduces Stories
I was worried about sharing broadly and leaking info from 1 contact to another, but it seems like the Signal team did all the right things here.<p>When you create a story you can make it a group story or not.<p>If you do not make it a group story, reactions and replies to stories get sent to you over your 1:1 chats and not shared across other recipients of the story.<p>If you make it a group story, and share it with multiple groups each group receives their own copy of the story and replies and reactions can only be viewed by others in the same group.<p>After having been burned SO OFTEN by other social platforms embarrassingly notifying others when I did something I thought was a passive post, or leaking information from 1 of my subgroups with another I was very worried that would happen here, but great job signal team!<p>The only awkward part that I&#x27;ve noticed so far is if I have a contact in 2 groups that I create 2 group stories with, they now have 2 identical stories show up on their story board.  It makes sense and I think the UI clearly indicates for which group replies and reactions to each story it would go to which is probably the safest (best?) solution, but I could see that getting a little annoying if I share multiple groups with a frequent story poster.
