Better, but still not great, because a lot of metadata gets collected even if the conversations themselves do not. Might I suggest SimpleX instead?

I actually tried SimpleX because of this person..

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 3 points 18 hours ago

SimpleX gets a lot of things right. In particular:

  • no public identifiers
  • ability to chat anonymously
  • not dependent on centralized servers
  • multiple user profiles

My main concern for them is that they are backed by several investors (some VCs) with no concrete public plan as to how to pay them back.

Oh, nice. Whatever works.
