I have nothing against Signal. I just don’t have access to a phone number right now. I fully intend to use the Signal when I get a number. I know there is no silver bullet, no absolutes in the privacy world but I’m looking for any messengers that are generally considered to be private and secure on Android that I can try to convince my friends and family to use. I have a mid - low threat model, it’s just the thought of giving the Zuck anymore of my family’s data makes my skin crawl.
Protonmail? Matrix?
Isn’t ProtonMail an email client? Correct me of I’m wrong. I do use Tutanota to subscribe to all my Newsletters. A few other people mentioned Matrix so I’ll check that out.
