i've just seen a comment in a post, in this very community, saying people trust signal because of missinformation (from what i could undertand).

if this is true, then i have a few questions:

-what menssaging app should i use for secure communications? i need an app that balances simplicity and security.

-how to explain it to my friends who use signal because i recomended?

-what this means for other apps in general?

I don't take anything from someone I don't trust that also explicitly doesn't use warrant canaries because he says they don't work in contradiction to every legal authority.

It's also an issue that they run the signal server on one single AWS region.

It isn't hard or even all that expensive to run on multiple regions.
