Is Signal messaging really private?
(lemmy.ml)
All the signal fans here should give me your phone number if you think its a secure service. All of them are hosted on AWS btw.
So what client would you recommend? I also feel like if it's offered on Google Play or Apple Store it's sus, but for lower income USians, it looks like Google Play is soon to become the forced option, especially on phones < $100.
Matrix, simpleX. Both have apps on f-droid, are federated, E2EE, and the servers are self-hostable anywhere in the world. Neither require phone numbers or identifiable info.

No, and they are supported by US gov (last check), so no good can come of that.
