      I personally use Element but I think recommending Signal is a great step forward for the average person.

        I agree the only thing with Signal is it needs a phone number, but the protocol that is solid. Its more practical to have people switch to signal from whatsapp in my opinion

        Great option. Session is even more private, but a bit laggy. What’s missing is end-to-end encrypted voip.

        Is the only advantage that you don’t need a phone number? If so, how does it compare against Wire (which is IMO a nearly perfect solution)

            Thanks, got it. Is a good idea. I’ll start following it.

            Do all the email servers have to make changes to support it? Dies the IMAP standard have to change to support it?
