Using a chat service without disclosing a “strong selector” such as phone number (remember: “We kill people based on metadata”) should be considered freedom0.
Moxie promised (was it in 2016?) that it would be feasible with Signal… since then Signal users got: cool new stickers (!) and a crypto-ponzi scheme. Inexcusable.
All depends on your threat model though. Are you afraid of the security state, surveillance capitalism, or your local PD. Very different threat models, very different needs.
Are you serious? It’s not about pigs, even though they’re often the first to put holes in systems compromising everyone. From that angle I suppose they are a threat to software in general. But privacy for the sake of privacy is correct, even.
