Very cool, I like that! I went there once, it's overwhelming how large it is. I was frustrated only EU folks could get a student discount, when here in the states I don't think anyone's threat model is someone faking a student ID to get a discount on entry to a museum.
When I ported over to Project For a few years ago, it took about 30 minutes. I think there's a "pre-transfer" step that gets everything ready to cutover before you confirm.
> If criminals were smart (his words), they’d use Signal or Whatsapp where they’d be a small percentage of the user base and authorities would have a much harder time to get court-allowed blanket access like they had with Sky or Encro.
How could I get a court order to get blanket access to Signal?
Oh, ok. I'd prefer he say things directly. For example, if someone insinuates criminals are stupid I tend to discount what they say, not try to infer the speaker's true meaning.
(Many criminals are extremely intelligent, but feel stymied from legitimate employment despite having smarts and skills, this is a well documented phenomenon.)
Yeah, I worry more about the device running Signal.
Is it up to date?

Any other apps with flaws?
And then any time the browser is used there's risk, especially since mobile devices are worse about supporting ad blocking - that's one reason I like Algo - block malicious stuff at the DNS level rather than worry your combination of privacy extensions is giving you security but also making you more fingerprintable (reducing privacy).
BUT I like Signal as a way to reduce ambiguity. (Eg: If I text you on Signal, it's unlikely someone snarfed that out of the air, and over time I can see where information is leaking, same goes for a voice chat)
Then it's down to trust, which is sadly an unsolved problem. (At least for this poster)
