Is it still viable to use Signal for privacy in 2026? It's centralized, and has had many suspicious occurrences in the past.(Unopen source server code, careless whisper exploit which is still active as far as I know, and the whole mobile coin situation.)

Thoughts?

I read the article in the past, and it is still as flawed as it used to be. You're quite extremist without much legitimate reason. Signal is and will likely stay for the foreseeable time one of the most secure and private messengers.

Whenever Signal advocates chime in, they never help beat the allegation of being a cult that cannot be reasoned with.

Personal attacks are used by people who lack valid arguments; therefore, I will block you to protect my psychological well-being.

Anyone interested in discussing actual Signal flaws, like the unecessary phone number requirement is free to reply and do so.
