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 :)

Signal’s plug and play.
Conversations app requires a sign up. We can’t miss out the ‘once you sign up’ bit - it’s an important step, because it stops users.
I’d prefer XMPP myself, but, my experience tells me this isn’t the best method. In a hostel people complained about privacy concerns. I told them about Signal. A few go to the PlayStore page and nearly clicked ‘Install’.
At this point a bigger privacy enthusiast told them not to download it, that it’s not decentralized, and to go and download new super-private thing and also add your own keys to a server here, and people just put down their phones without installing either.
If you would have showed them Quicksy or Blabber.im it would have been exactly the same as Signal, except that it would not be tied to a phone number, which some travelers in a Hostel might not have available, so in fact it would have been even easier.
I don’t read German.
