Maybe a good intention, but the wrong community.

Try out communities like !linux_gaming@lemmy.world and !pcgaming@lemmy.world which might appreciate your content (as soon as there is some).

Afaik GPS is receiving only. You simply don’t emit any signals.

It can he spoofed and jammed, but doesn’t by design give away your location.

Nope. That’s not how Signal and E2E encrypted messaging works.

If a government asks Signal for user data they get an almost empty sheet of paper. Search for " what data does signal collect" to confirm that.

If - on the other side - your smartphone is compromised or unlocked there is almost nothing Signal can do to prevent governments from looking into your data. Also it reads like some agents simply joined a group chat. Again: nothing Signal could prevent.

If the vibes keep on deteriorating and there would be a crackdown on messengers and signaling infrastructure a messenger is the last of your worries.

And if Signal gets specifically targeted, there will be warning signs and time to shift away.
