Signal in 2026? (lemmy.ml)

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?

Personally, I have yet to see anybody who was willing to use Signal whom I couldn't get to install the Element app instead. 🤷
