I really don't understand why so many people like Signal. It's an utter piece of shit in terms of UX, has questionable security practices, harvests phone numbers, and it's located on a central server in US.

Totally agree, it has an extremely sus history too. No one should be using any US-based centralized service.

Someone should give SimpleX or Session a try

I have tried session, the crypto wierds me out a little, but I could not find a terrible issue with the service. I will say Quality of Life Features where not there, most notable the messageing service would start to heavily log out if you have it open too long
