i’ve just seen a comment in a post, in this very community, saying people trust signal because of missinformation (from what i could undertand).
if this is true, then i have a few questions:
-what menssaging app should i use for secure communications? i need an app that balances simplicity and security.
-how to explain it to my friends who use signal because i recomended?
-what this means for other apps in general?


You have no idea what code their server is running, and its impossible to host your own signal since its a centralized service.
They went a whole year without publishing server code updates also, until they got a lot of backlash for it. Still, even publishing those is moot since its a centralized service.
