Exposing my DID and then farming my contact database so it can tell me when people I know sign up for #Signal (and Vice Verse - it tells people who have your DID in their contact database when you're a signal user too) is an egregious invasion of my privacy!!!

I do understand that Signal has been working to get rid of the #DID requirement, and received notification of such a day or so ago, but there's still a bad taste left in my mouth for encroachments.

ChatMail servers with DeltaChat clients should be on that list. github.com/deltachat/chatmail You could even make Tuta compatible with that by implementing Autocrypt and QR code counterMITM key sharing.

Although it's a close call between Signal and Threema for me, I chose Threema because you don't need the Google Play Store to install it.

You can buy a license through their store and install it via F-Droid (or as an APK file). Threema Desktop also provides both DEB and RPM packages for Linux, whereas Signal Desktop is a hassle to install (unless we use the unofficial Flatpak).

Session is a great private messenger, but the UI/UX is barebones and not all that great.
