Sticking to Signal is really the best option

The privacy policy doesn't matter if no data is saved unencrypted or with no metatdata.

The only thing Signal saves (which is proofed by a law case afaik) is the phone number and the account creation date.

Well, it's always a good idea to delete unnecessary mails and junk mails

And calyxOS as well as LineageOS

I've switched to protonmail and I'm happy with the free plan for mail

And good operating system support

Imagine you would need to pay for your right to protest or free speech as an example. This is brutal.

'a technology where we can control'..

Oh no, who is "we"?

The protonmail app seams good to me on Android?

Ok, so what is better with other apps and why shouldn't one recommend signal over the apps people use (say Whatsapp, telegram)

it isn't the phone itself but the operating system on it that makes it private.

Well, I'd say they can do that as long as it stays on my device like with Signal.

Not yet, lol.

Skiff uses discord, so.. idk what I think of that, they also lack support for pgp and are in the us afaik

I find it odd that so many people using them, are running graphene.

Why's that? Is something bugging you? I might want to use it once they support Android Auto.

What proprietary features are you missing in GrapheneOS?

They are already working on usernames but didn't provide a date

Yes, they'd need to implement another method of showing notifications.

You wrote that 500mb is too small tho. 500mb are enough for me as well for mails.

Well imap isn't encrypted, right? That's why one can or rather needs to run a software with proton called proton bridge to get imap locally

and maybe I could influence people positively

I as a vegaterian who rarely eats non-vegan stuff never try to convert others. I only correct them if they say wrong stuff but also try not to influence them. I think that every human who just watched one animals feel pain in any way should have gotten that being vegan is a no-brainer.

Do non-vegans really refuse to date vegans?

It's intesting to me to put this that way. Usually I think of things from my own perspective, not from others. I couldn't be with someone who isn't vegetarian.
