E2EE Communications

SMS (normal “texting”) is very officially unsafe for all communications that we would hope/expect not to be snooped upon. Therefore, E2EE (end-to-end encryption) is a must-have for how we communicate. There are a few ways we normally communicate: 1-on-1 (in other words, the same as texting), many to many (this would be group texting), and threaded discussions (the ability to manage your own level of commitment/interest/notification levels for multiple topic-based discussion threads as opposed to every message goes to every person every time). This E2EE communications section will primarily address software used for 1-to-1 communication, and threaded communication
