Sure, just give your data to China and get their ads, who cares.
-
I do, use Signal if you care about privacy. They are the only game in town when it comes to reasonably secure chat software. Sure, I would prefer a federated alternative but I haven't found one yet that is always end-to-end encrypted, open source, implements forward secrecy, and is user friendly enough to be used by my grandmother.

I can't find its libre software licence text file.

why signal?
Because atm is the most adopted alternative but isn't any better then SimpleX.

Briar is better for particular dangerous situations, SimpleX is a 'more confy' great alternative.

An change your email to protonmail or tutamail. Starve those gmails, outlooks, iCloud’s and etc
Email is a shitty protocol we should abandon
-
Wouldn't Matrix be a better alternative to Signal, since it doesn't need a number and the main/default instance (matrix.org) is based on the EU? Maybe it has a too difficult learning curve to the average user, though
The best number-free protocol is SimpleX atm

It's been here the a long time actually

FB Marketplace --> Flohmarkt is missing!

That really is not a satisfying answer. It is incredibly nebulous and even if it did have a nice definition I guarantee most software developers will tell you a lot of software rarely reaches that state.
I can see why they might want to avoid 1000 GitHub issues bike shedding things but they could open source the code and just not have open contribution
or they can also disable submitting issues for now

Loops is anti-libre software confirmed.
anti? is it against libre software? because it doesn't seem so
-
Leaks more metadata? What does that mean?
sender, recipient, chatroom, what kind of event you sent (message, emoji, reaction, vote), if you responded to a message, room privilege changes, etc
but it's a question how big of a problem is that. they want to tackle it in the future, but that's far away for now I think
