It seems like I constantly see “X secure messaging option is actually bullshit because it was purchased by Dr. Evil and Y is actually just e-mailing your messages directly to Xi Jinping.”

Is there an authoritatively “best” one I can just…download and setup easily? Is Signal good? Or do I need to solder a Raspberry Pi to the flux modulator of my home Linux NAS GUI, etc…?

    Signal if you trust them to not leak your identifier and because its gotten the most mass adoption.

    Simplex if you can convince your circle to use it because it has no identifiers and is user friendly.

      Whoever built that website really needs to fix the hitbox on the ‘X’ when you’re done reading the popups. Or instead of trying to show off with JavaScript they can just have a separate page like most websites
