Signal doesn’t provide such open and easily found chat rooms.
It’s really much more a messenger (with group chats, but those you have to manually set up)

So it’s not an “open” place like telegram and with that not as attractive for advertising illicit services or products.

besides that, Signal is the technically much more secure variant. No discussion about it.

Not even about user data, this is just the side dish. You have complete control over the system and spy on, and probably even can do, whatever

I’m not really sure, if they know what a VPN actually is

I recently got myself a Pixel 7 Pro. the preinstalled OS really tries to push all the Google stuff on you, which isn’t great.
but after a quick look around for 1 hour, I installed GrapheneOS and am very happy with it

although I’d really like to have a Linux smartphone. but there seems to be none with good hardware…
