I at least have a core group of friends that use Signal and I keep Element installed on my phone and computers hoping someday more people move to that over the next decade

Why Session over Signal? 🙂

I couldn't make sense of this comment. What are you saying happened here? (I clicked the links and whatnot.)

Is Session not a good app?

@victorz
Sorry didn't say that, just that I suggested you could consider having a look at briar, since it supports mesh networking over WiFi/bluetooth when cellular fails, which may be a plus to account for emergency situations.

Ah, that's an interesting feature. Cool. Thanks for explaining!
