Depends a lot on who you're talking to, and your, and their threat models. For many, signal provides pretty good protection, which brings us to a salient point, anything that actually provides good security will attract plenty of negativity, often from state level actors who feel (are) threatened. If you're playing at that level, adam_y is right, dead drops and one time pads. Presuming lesser threat, signal beats telegram and FB etc. Email is plaintext unless proton to proton, encrypted email is fine (look at PGP) and indeed if you encrypt at home before sending it's pretty much a dead drop anyway, as long as the other party has a key, and I'm wandering off the beaten path.
Seems you want a secure messenger that works and are scared by random crap because you don't have the relevant knowledge to decide (spoiler, very few do, and it's insider knowledge, the world is imperfect), fair enough, but don't let perfect be the enemy of good. As long as you're willing to give up your phone number, Signal is well regarded (exchange privacy for security, you decide). But yeah, no perfects, world imperfect, trust hard, deal ;)
I don't remember the scene, but personally I'd test an electric fence with a nonconductor. You'll probably get some sparks but won't die. You do you, ppl in this thread.
My personal take, as a bike rider, use those corvid smarts (yes I know they're not technically corvids, but they fill the niche, and they're smart)
Jerky, throw it for them when they swoop. It lasts for the breeding season, and they will remember you (They're not called the black and white mafia for nothing, and their protection is relatively cheap). Next time you ride past watch the guy/gal behind you get swooped.
What's it again, No Gods, No Masters ?
Best thing I've heard for a while, pass it on...

Umm, if I understand you, it should be fine, you'd have the app and also proxies available on 8388 and 8888 or whatever you prefer on a different tunnel... It's pretty much the VPN swiss army knife. Use wireguard if you can, it's a lot faster (but more CPU intensive).

Screw you guys, immutable fedora. Currently, bazzite, but I can, and have, change on a whim.
