Well, there is only one thing left to do. I am going to self host my own XMPP server and try to move my friends and family to it.

Signal has been great but they won't be able to stop it.

Or we could encrypt the messages before pasting them in the messaging app so the CSS will be neutered.

Either way, I won't have the EU stasi look over my shoulder each time I send a message to a loved one.
