Signal is becoming a liability.

I started using it because it would do both encrypted and SMS messages, and by using it, I was contributing "low value" traffic (cat pix, "how u" msgs) to a system where I wanted to help protect those doing "high value" communication (political resistance, privacy activists, etc.).

The fact that it did both SMS and encrypted meant that I was following security best practices by default, without effort. As my friends joined, we talked over secure channels. 1/?
