Good summary of several red-flags in regards to using the Signal messenger.
Also interesting is this one.
Use a locally hosted XMPP with the Conversations client :)

XMPP does support audio and voice calls. All 3 of Conversations/Quicksy/Blabber.im do that. Furthermore, you can signup with your phone number exactly as in whatsapp/signal if you use Quicksy.
I recommend you try one of them out to see the current state of XMPP today before judging it :)
I think I am blind. I am using XMPP for some nice channels. But I never saw integrated voice and video though. I love XMPP but I wouldn’t say it’s as easy as Signal.
There are no voice channels as in Discord, but you can do voice and video calls with Conversations, Movim, Siskin and JSXC (with slight issues) all interoperable these days.
How do I do that with conversations? I can’t see the icon :(
Check if your server is in this list. https://compliance.conversations.im/test/stun/
Second, any contact you wish to call must be both on one of the above servers and have a client that supports calling (such as the ones previously mentioned).
The contact you want to call has to have a compatible client as well otherwise it does not show AFAIK. And your server might not be configured for STUN autodiscovery.
