This isn’t an ad, I wasn’t paid for this post. Just to clear the air: fuck facebook, fuck elon musk and twitter, fuck anyone who thinks this is a paid advertisement. I wish I was paid for this shit, I just wanted to spread the word. Thank you. 😀 👍

      I use Signal as my main messenger and it works just fine. The only drawback is phone number requirement, but it is simpler for casual users. I’d really want them to add an alternative, more secure and private signup method.

      Personally I haven’t had issues with the Signal on various platforms since I started using Signal back in 2020.
