    Maybe unintentional ways to leak data,

    Yeah, that’s what I think it may be. Just like Apple reporting on all apps you open on un-encrypted HTTP calls and a few other things.

        Signal’s defaults are pretty good about that. Push notifications are both opt-in and the information they send can be selected by the user. You can have it say “new message” and that’s it. Or the senders name. Or the whole message.

        I agree that it’s not intuitive that that’s a leak to most people, but push notifications are kind of wonky how they work.

          signal is all around very strong… my main criticism is the “trust signal bro” cult pretending like Signal would not log chats if ordered by the spooks. which is naive AF and feels like they are trying to make normeis comfortable so they don’t demand better.
