They're going to be watching us. Make sure you use a messenger with end-to-end encryption for anything important.

Matrix is good for irc-like chatrooms. Signal is a great SMS/MMS replacement. Both are open source with the app and server code. They're going to be monitoring open unencrypted communications for hot words that will flag you for surveillance. Stay safe pedes. We don't know what's coming.

Consider anything sent via these to be hackable by state actors

True that nothing is 100% safe. But that would require a ton of work and processing power to crack each message. It would at least stop an automated bot from detecting a certain word or phrase and flagging you for further surveillance.

(No signal hasn't been compromised. That BBC article was fake news.)

I think both are good but for different uses.
