    Or Threema since it’s from my country and we have a good privacy reputation 🇨🇭

    And it works really well and allows you to do what you need it to do of course.

      The problem with Threema is it costs money.

      It’s not a lot of money. It’s not an unfair price. It’s completely reasonable to expect to pay for services rather than using things that spy on you. None of that matters though. I have a hard enough time getting people to use Signal, which is free; anything paid is a complete nonstarter.
