Signal is great, that's why I'm suspicious that this recent story is to not only target journalism, but also secure app communication. I wouldn't be surprised if it's used as an excuse to remove signal from the app stores.

Hopefully I'm just being too paranoid.

Immediately had that thought as well.

Don't blame the barn for not holding the horses when you leave the fucking door open.

I don’t think that’s the case, I just think it is old people not know how to use technology.

Additionally, all these people in power are using signal, how is that not a loud endorsement that everyone should be on it.

Sadly, my contact list remains mostly on WhatsApp and Facebook messenger only.

Anyone who uses Facebook messenger as their only messenging app will need to text or call me. Fuck that. I do, however, use WhatsApp and discord for work and uni group chats. If or when that's no longer the case, people who only use those will need to text me, too.

That sucks, didnt know charging by the minute was still a thing at all in some places.

The big problem is that the telecoms still charge by the minute to call a landline so most businesses have a Facebook page and use messenger as their primary form of contact.

I’m literally going to a vet now and they had messenger, WhatsApp or telegram as their contact method
