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?

I guess i want privacy, not anonimity. i'm not like a activist, but i have opinions that would get me in trouble, nothing too crazy, just something like "x government did something bad"

Signal is what you're looking for

Collecting your phone number on sign up is literally the opposite of anonymity. Perhaps you don't understand what this word means?

He asked for privacy, not anonymity. Re-read what you replied to.
