Whats’ app, while E2EE can still pull lots of information from who you message, how often, the size of the messages, and contact’s phone number. Messenger has the content of your messages and with whom you converse according to Facebook account info stored on Facebook servers. Snapchat has a record of all activity, contacts, and message content. The messages only disappear from app but not from SnapChat servers. All 3 of those record of how you live your life, except Whatsapp can’t see content of messages but still has your activities and contact phone numbers.

Signal was ordered to turn over user content to court and Signal only had when the user last connected to the service and date of account creation. Signal had zero information about messages, when messages were sent, or to whom.

I don’t use Matrix due to a permanent copy of all activity being kept on servers. It seems Matrix only has private group chats but not end-to-end direct messaging to add a contact and message them, you have to invite a user to a chat.

Why does it never go the other way and your side screams censorship when there are restrictions saying not allowed to mention climate change, not allowed to mention socialism or Marxism, not allowed to mention covid?

You blocking me does not qualify as censorship due to individual liberties. I can agree that if someone is frequently complaining about trans people, even some people who agree will grow tired of the negativity. There is a problem trying to public promote a service as an established service and attract new users, and then to say “No, we don’t allow your kind in here, you are only allowed to agree with every word we say”, that starts to look like a bait and switch scam and pushing dictatorial censorship.

Do an internet search for “mastodon censorship” and read through 10 different search results.

Do people have a right to disagree with you? When you comment on any subject or topic, whatever it might be, do others have right to not support what you believe in? No marriage or serious relationship can last with restrictions on personal thought. Successful marriages must have room for disagreements.

I think your first sentence of reply has a mistake, maybe a word is missing, it is not clear. Or am I not understanding correctly?

Why is it always white people who only speak English that calls people racist?

I do not see upvotes or downvotes. If there are lots of downvotes I will never see it.

The entire fediverse is built on censorship of thought and opinion because no server is allowed to join the fediverse that allows posts criticizing transgenderism.

What is the point of the fediverse if servers ban posts of unapproved opinions and banning wrongthink?

I will second the others that only suggest Signal or a variant of Signal like Langis or Molly. Everybody has each other’s phone numbers, go with Signal so people don’t need any other contact information.

For which ROM to use, I believe any ROM based on AOSP will suffice because even that will fully eliminate all Google tracking, I think LineageOS is the worst one. I do recommend Pixel since you can lock the bootloader after flashing it. You could try CalyxOS.

For privacy, I only use phone for communication, I don’t use cell data service so no internet when I’m outside, no messaging, until I connect to wi-fi again. In F-Droid I turn off all anti-features in settings, and everything I install is from F-Droid. No social media and no Aurora store to use Play Store

I have never heard of Bastyon before. I have an account on there. It would be helpful if it had a libre app to use.
