@sun @kravietz @feld signal just freaks me out a little bit because you need to sign up with your phone number. Session is the better choice if you're looking for privacy. They literally can't give out that information because they don't have it, whereas Signal has complied with orders and given numbers before iirc. Could just use a burner phone or something but, you know, still.
Tor is funded by the government but they use it too, it's in their best interest to keep it as safe as it is. They don't need to do anything crazy to catch people with bad opsec (dread pirate Roberts for instance) and most of the time they're just using honeypots anyway (like those "hire a hitman" services), not that the network itself is compromised. As long as you don't have an entire string of government connections then you're good, and if you're really concerned then you can always use a new connection on every site. Someone going to those lengths probably has a lot more shit they need to worry about lol.
