Granted, the part

The globally recommended app by privacy and security experts, Signal, is now being downloaded massively and tops the Danish Google Play Store

is a little ironic, but you gotta push this winning tide and then work from that.

    Telegram is still better, while not being ideal, of course. But at least its servers aren’t located in the USA.

    The ideal options are decentralized/p2p, but for now they have very few users (not many less than Signal, to be fair).

        E2E encryption it’s not the only feature that matters. By the way, I am not promoting Telegram, I only mean that relying on US-centric infrastructure is bad because you can be disconnected away at any moment.

      Telegram is worse. There’s only pedos and russians on it, not to mention the french government having full access to the servers.

      telegram is the absolute wirst when it comes to constant spam from scams and bullshit group chats… it’s an utter cesspool.
