Is signal something secure?? I'm not sure. I used it for less than an
hour and found myself falling deep into an endless -unspeakable- type of content hole....
It replaces your non-secure text messaging, not your Discord... its a
But I happen to have a political role in a workers union and I'm in
charge of the communictation of the group that maganes the union currently, so I'm always on the lookout for any "bleeding edge" options, especially about security and encryption, and freedom of speech and association (BluSky...), and such. Thank you for the valuable info you shared with me, Paulie.

Understood. Signal is really great for conversations that do need that security... theres another one, Simple-X that looks pretty cool. I
*think* its more like a Matrix/Element w/ group chats/rooms and
whatnot. Like you, I don't have a threat model that requires all these things, but with China looking at our cross-branded text messaging,
Signal can play an important role.
Android to Android and iOS to iOS comms are still pretty secure, but
cross platform text messaging is wide open at the moment.
I wondered why Signal dropped its SMS support - being able to easily
send a Signal link to an SMS recipient seemed like a great way to spread support for Signal - and it meant one less app on my phone.

I don't use it much, but didn't notice that. I can still send text,
images and video on Signal, right???

Yes - just not to SMS/MMS recipients. I got a couple of people to use Signal by sending them a link through the app in an SMS message conversation.
Signal - still requires a phone#
I'm still leary to bother with Signal. Does it facilitate
sync'ing between devices?
Sesions - no phone#, can be anonymous
Exchanging the initial invite links kinda exposes the parties
though if regular email is used.
Session still is operational on Win7 machines too.
SimpleX - no account even; completely anonymous
... SimpleX is TOO much for me - Sessions is perfect IMO.
I think Simplex is quite nice. It has re-edit! :D ..but I
don't think it supports sync between devices.
Have you tried Briar? It's has a slightly different look/flow.
It facilitates a kind of "broadcast" channel where a message
there will be sent to all contacts, and a "forum" channel that facilitates topical discussion if desired.
