I have nothing against Signal. I just don’t have access to a phone number right now. I fully intend to use the Signal when I get a number. I know there is no silver bullet, no absolutes in the privacy world but I’m looking for any messengers that are generally considered to be private and secure on Android that I can try to convince my friends and family to use. I have a mid - low threat model, it’s just the thought of giving the Zuck anymore of my family’s data makes my skin crawl.

    I do have something against signal! Phone number, removing SMS support, MobileCoin, lack of federation…

    Sadly, my friends/family are sick of swapping and I’ve found element/session to be unreliable or overly complex, so I stick with Signal because it’s still much better than SMS.
