Vegetables are healthier than red meat.
Vaccines work and are safe.
Signal is secure.
@rysiek @signalapp The only caveat with Signal I know of, when it comes to security, is that it is only as secure as your mobile device.

How would you compare Signal to Threema?
@rysiek @signalapp The best and safest option is Keet by Holepunch. No servers involved.
@rysiek Agree on the former, but I think there are certainly folks whose infosec needs preclude @signalapp that don't know it, so it's good to spell out.
