I think Signal is the best. The flaws you mentioned are valid for some threat models, but now when organizing a protest.

Signal has phone number privacy, so goverment can not link any accounts to any phone numbers. At most they will know you registered Signal.

Yes, it’s centralized, but if the only threat actor you worry about is your goverment, then Signal will do just fine. They can not hand over any meaningful data on anyone because of metadata protection.

Briar?

The question was whether you are sure that only fascists marsh on capitals

They do not ship updates as fast as official Signal client does. Do not use it unless you specifically need one of its security features

You haven’t answered the question

He marshalled an attack on the capital. No non-fascist does that.

uh, you sure about that?

Can’t an instance also collect IP-addreses and device info, if its owner adds some scripts to its web version?

Did you get anyone to switch from Discord and Hangouts to Signal and SimpleX? How?

I think Startpage had some feature like “Anonymous Web Page View”

Do I understand correctly, what you mean is that there is an Invidious instance to which two users are connected. User A sends request to Invidious to get a video, Invidious forwards it to user B, user B downloads the video and sends it back to user A?

Sounds a lot like Tor or maybe I am missing something?

Sounds cool asf, probably the way private messaging apps should be

Although, it is not really fitting my threat model, I would love to see how it develops

Stop switching to every new “cool” and “encrypted” service every time the previous one disappointed you a little bit. This is not helpful neither for your time, nor for privacy community overall. We should lean on most developed and best platforms we have right now (Proton, Signal etc.) and get everyone to switch. Unless we know we have market dominance, dispersing our efforts is futile.

And yep, answering your question, Tuta Mail is fine
