No stickers. Stickers make me stick out ;)

Generally I will glance over the post and then read the comments. Although on https://news.ycombinator.com/ I generally don’t tend to read the posts and just read the comments.

Yeah email is good, but it by design not very secure/private even with pgp encryption you can still see things like metadata, i.e data and time that the email was sent and who it was sent to by the service provider.

Yeah signal is good, but the thing I dislike about it is that its centralized and you don’t actually have the option to run your own server. Maybe one of the forks of session like session is a good alternative. But I feel like Signal is the best alternative to things like Whatsapp and Facebook messenger and it is arguably a lot more user friendly that matrix and XMPP.
