That’s good advice, though I may have heard concerning stuff about Signal recently? Maybe not, kinda hard to keep up with everything.
By and large though I think it’s wise for folks who could end up targets to do what you’re saying, and to get safe communications operational at a minimum, now, while it’s still easy to do.
I have some skepticism about whether the worst will come to pass, but it’s wise to prepare in ways like this.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that it has been decrypted
I don’t think we need this sort of fear-mongering. Signal’s encryption is fully open source, it has been vetted by cryptographers far more experienced with this stuff than you or I. They even introduced, a few years back, an encryption algorithm that’s future-proof against quantum computing.
All you are doing is potentially pushing people away from one of the few known-safe options. That’s the opposite of helpful.
Thanks for the info on Signal. I’m under no illusions about the severity of our situation, truly. I know our history, and I know the history of fascism elsewhere. And I see what’s happening in front of us.

Every time people find a supposed security flaws with signal it turns out to be nothing, so signal is probably fine.
Good enough for me, and ultimately “good enough” is about as good as anything is gonna get.
saving this
I just mean the literal very worst. I’m not downplaying the situation.
