MODERATORS
The major one that concerns me is who is behind them. Even if we trust that their encryption is not backdoored, there is a lot of information that can be gathered just from the frequency of messages and who they are between.
If it came out that a three letter agency was running one of these networks, it would not suprise me at all.

The US military uses Signal for communication
Well no, but it is used for personal communication
I feel like a lot of the military probably uses Facebook messenger because of the convenience.
I imagine everyone is creating groupchats and assuming other people use Facebook just like pretty much every other job.
Secure in the milliary is actually pretty important. You don't want to accidentally leak troop deployments
Totally but people do get careless. We've seen it a few times with the war in the Ukraine. /r/VolunteersForUkraine is a good example of that.
I imagine it could be difficult stressing the importance of it to loved ones.
I mean, windows is so...
The only fix for that is for nobody to communicate, ever.
Yeah but you cant really obfuscate your message destination and timing without using onion routing, and really thats just making it more expensive to compromise and run. That said other things here do make it seem like a honeypot...
Its fully open source though, even the server. Might not be that hard to fork it and let people host their own servers.
