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.
That’s great news! The more the better! I’ve been liking simplex with the folks who have been willing to use it with me. It’s also crazy simple to get started with it as there’s not much to the account setup process. Takes literally seconds to be up and running
