I've been a user of/advocate for Signal for several years. It looks like the oligarchs don't want you to use it, and I can't think of a better reason why you should sign up and move your messages to Signal

Every year I'm low grade stressed out until my taxes are done. Our tax system sucks. Fix it. Ignore the tax prep lobby and do what's right for the citizens.
