Sure, there are plenty of great reasons to use Signal... like if you want your private messages you've sent linked back to you via a phone number. No tool intended for maximum security is going to require you to provide a phone number, which is incredibly difficult to acquire in the US without some form of KYC metadata. But sure if you've never read Moxie's blog to see he is obviously invested in Israel's agenda, then go ahead.
Tox is the most secure messager I know of. Next is Briar. I consider Signal to be on the same level as Telegram.
telegram has no usable form of e2ee (and what it does have is opt in only) so no, it is not on the same level as telegram. it is, in fact, ahead of it
What on Earth does Signal requiring phone numbers have to do with Israel?
Just keep using it, especially if you plan any protests & maybe you'll find out.
You sound like a lunatic.
"Ohhhh you'll see! I can't tell you what, how, when, or why, but oh will you alllllll see something, someday, somehow!"
Right, cause clearly their push to use your biometric phone lock for encryption is so secure. If you at least want some security you won't use the official app but one like Molly that has actual passphrase encryption, automatic locking, memory clearing & Orbot support.
See, now you're actually providing some substance. We're not mind readers, so put up or shut up.
