@greenjon if you want a similar service to Signal that isn't US-based, is planning to implement server>server federation, and is more friendly to the software freedom movement, I suggest trying #Wire. #GNU #Jami (formerly #Ring) is also worth a try, but much less user-friendly (at least last time I tried it).

Finally got #GNU #Jami (used to be called #Ring) to work (i.e. communicate) with another computer. I need to experiment with it a bit more, I suppose.

@switchingsocial I know you've addressed this in your FAQ but I really want to challenge not listing #Wire on your list of messenger apps. It's much easier for non-technical people to understand and use than #Jami / #Ring (I've got my family using Wire with me). Also, unlike Signal, Wire can be used without supplying a phone number, and they have plans to implement server>server federation:
