Which do you prefer? (With a reason would be nice.)

@glitcher32 they're fairly similar security-wise, but Wire works with an email/username OR a phone number, Signal doesn't give you that choice. I still use both.

@jonah I love Wire, always have, but it has its little issues (Not like Signal doesn't). I wish Signal let you sign up with a username/email tho, I don't trust that sign up with phone number thing, even if you're using some "burner number".

I use both to and don't even know why. If you know any free privacy safe phone number providers let me know because every single one out there seems to be flooded with trackers.

@glitcher32 nope, unfortunately. I ended up just buying 3 phone plans for myself πŸ˜†

Very annoying that the only legitimate free phone number service is *Google* Voice.

@jonah TextNow is great, BUT they may contain some trackers, plus I havn't read their privacy policy.
