Any Non-Nefarious Reason For Signal App?

[Anonymous]

Journalists use it and those who want to communicate with journalists.

DH and I use sign as our messaging app. We have multiple chats on there with friends who are feds or adjacent as well.

I'm on several non-nefarious group chats that started on Signal, or switched to it when WhatsApp became a zuckfsck. "Privacy concerns" extend beyond low-integrity people trying to hide their hookups.

Our local mutual aid group uses signal. It's not that deep.

+1. Almost every advocacy/volunteer/activist groups are using signal now… as are savvy people who are concerned about privacy and the direction everything is going in (as we all should be). Heck, even the school group chats are on Signal now.

I have Signal to communicate with coworkers outside of work. What’s nefarious about this app?

My friends who are political scientists who do research abroad or work for the government are pretty adamant about texting via signal, so I use it to keep them happy.

I’m in a bunch of signal group chats. Much better than sms. Totally non-sketchy.

You seem confused. We have Signal, Telegram and WhatsApp for group chats on both our phones. It’s a messaging tool.

What are you insinuating, exactly? Remember, it could be someone they are communicating with who needs the privacy. Their affair partner, for example. (Is that where you were going with this?)

Dw here. I’m friends with a professor who works on security issues. My group chat with her and several others is on signal.

Whatever.

If my wife was "chatting with her gfs" on a self destructing, end-to-end encrypted app known for the inability to be read by others...... yeah, I'd very comfortably assume they are talking about something they really, really, really don't want me to know about.

I use it to chat with a select few friends -- my husband and two closest friends. Don't remember why we switched from WhatsApp but it does feel less icky.

I'm still on WhatsApp for all the thousands of group chats. But my Signal conversations are my favorites.

You’re not entitled to know everything she does, says, and thinks.
