Please, for the love of resilience and safety, do not promote or expect that Signal, Discord, or WhatsApp is safe or stays safe. Rather, use decentralized and open-source projects like Matrix or XMPP.
The single point of failure messenger Signal already threatened that they will turn off their services in the EU if law requires them to do so and thus cannot be seen anymore as reliable.
And more importantly, if you think that Matrix needs more time and development, it is in your hands to help create an alternative to big centralized US chat platforms, and all you need to do is to donate to the underfunded Matrix Foundation that has to compete with multi-billion $ US corpos.
If just 1% of the people paying Discord for the privilege of sending 4,000-character messages donated to the Matrix Foundation instead, we would have a secure, resilient, and decentralized messaging platform in no time.
One with no single point of failure that lawmakers cannot easily destroy, because no single entity runs it.Messaging platforms are one of the pillars of our democracies and communities, it is worth fighting for a good one.

@m@lgbtqia.space matrix the famously secure protocol with no vulnerabilities whatsoever, on account of simply pretending they don't exist and harassing anyone who insinuates that matrix isn't absolutely flawless and perfect

I am on Matrix as well as Signal, so I DO at least have the former as backup should Signal go to shit.
