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 :)

    Yes I remember that, and I even paid for whatsapp back then. Less than a year later they were taken over by facebook. Since then I am extremely hesitant to give money to any company, because they can sell out from one day to the other.

      I think I should mention that any product emerging from USA or USA fanboy country that has this problem of startup investor capitalist culture in youth minds (where youths love Warren Buffett ideas) should not be entrusted with such subscription style money. They are destined to sell out unless they are non profit style entities, and even then one must research.

      It would sound a little weirdly worded (tried my best) but I think anyone should get the idea here.
