An old update, but more important now than ever to note that there are options to retain useful services post-acquisition and not fully sacrifice privacy.
I exclusively use signal whenever someone else is on it, and try my best to encourage people to contact me on it. The new improved UI has helped me get some more friends on it. Previously some folks complained it was "too weird".
However, signal has some showstopper bugs which make it really hard to use.
When there's a major thread on a story, like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23192546 which is currently at #1, it's usually better to post follow-up links in the thread rather than as separate submissions. Otherwise the front page gets repetitive.

I haven't faced this bug with any other messenger app ever, and it is really really frustrating.
