Great column from
@ShiraOvide, looking at differences between private messengers. Note Telegram isn't listed, because Telegram is not a private messenger.
And note that Signal is the gold standard, providing the foundation for the rest.❤️

@Mer__edith I wish the article's section on backups would have mentioned that it is impossible to make Signal backups on iOS. I regularly see people not realize this and then feel devastated when they lose their Signal message history. Better education about features would prevent such unfortunate situations.
