I’ve always avoided signal like the plague simply because it requires a phone number to create an account, and they won’t federate.

Lots of people are going to be caught up with the FBI joining signal group chats, heading over to telecom companies to get addresses, taking those addresses to the respective DMVs to get license plates and then running those through Flock.

Not to mention, grabbing footage from ring cameras to snag “collaborators”

@TheLastOfHisName I have used Element for quite awhile and I like it.

It does federate and it has end to end encryption and you don’t need a phone number to sign up. Their big knock against them for awhile has been their UI.

Although it looks like they have been working on it
