The ONLY data Signal stores about you is your phone number, most recent registration time/date and most recent login time/date. They don’t know who you’re messaging or when you’re messaging them AFAIK.

You can see this for yourself at signal.org/bigbrother

Ecosia also has AI answers and bangs, you can use #g to redirect to Google for example.

I’m sorry if I sound naive but what’s wrong with using a mobile?

I thought people use traditional music players like iPod and Tangara only because of their retro feel, is there something else to it?

Just FYI, in India the president (head of the state) is more or less a ceremonial figure. It’s the prime minister (head of the government) that you’re probably talking about.

There’s also https://justbeamit.com which iirc also functions in a similar way.

They aren’t E2EE by default. You have to enable it manually.

They also run bookwyrm.world! A fediverse alternative of Goodreads.
