Is it still viable to use Signal for privacy in 2026? It’s centralized, and has had many suspicious occurrences in the past.(Unopen source server code, careless whisper exploit which is still active as far as I know, and the whole mobile coin situation.)
Thoughts?
Session is good, and could definitely use some funding if you’re able. it’s a fork of Signal, but decentralised (I think?)
Unfortunately their funding situation is dire, they’re shutting down in 90 days

Do they not get enough from the CIA?
no, because if they did, they wouldn’t be on their deathbed https://itsfoss.com/news/session-call-for-donations/
I hadn’t actually looked into the project, and just responded, with a knee-jerk reaction, to a no-name Signal fork.
Having glanced at it now, I can confidently say “lol. lmao”.
Damn, Hanlon’s Razor strikes again.
