I highly recommend using Signal for your DnD group chat, Tor to look up hummus recipes and an encrypted email for your wedding RSVPs. The more people are using this sort of thing for completely innocuous stuff the less suspicious it becomes, and as a bonus you feel like you're doing something helpful while you're working out minicabs and compiling your Auntie Mary's dietary requirements.
And it also lets your Android and iOS friends all talk together with the same featureset, which is pretty darn extensive.
@StevenSaus @afewbugs literally told my partner (we are in an android/ios relationship) i needed her to get on signal so i can flirt better (support for emoji reacts and stickers)
@jepyang @StevenSaus oh, a heterOSexual relationship
@jepyang @StevenSaus @afewbugs Now tell her the real reason: lack of read notifications on cross-platform RCS.
@mike805 @StevenSaus @afewbugs oh gods no, i’m audhd, if there was a way to turn off read receipts in signal i absolutely would. honestly one of my least favorite “features”.
In mine, it's Settings > Privacy > Read receipts
@jepyang @StevenSaus @afewbugs That's how I can tell someone is using a fruity phone. No read receipt. And no encryption of course.
@afewbugs I need to find out if I can convince my D&D group to move over to Signal (along with most of my other WhatsApp contacts)
@afewbugs Yes, *definitely* use Signal for your DnD group chat!
@mkj a couple of us did once meet up in a cafe and start talking about "OMG remember that time [character name] woke up in a brother next to a dead person" and then realise how the waiter was staring at us
@afewbugs qubes inspo
@afewbugs I regularly get kitten pictures from my aunt over Signal. They're agents of chaos.
We originally started using it over text messaging to have better iOS/Android compatibility, but I'm glad everyone is in the habit now.
@sloth yes that is how cats work 
@afewbugs@social.coop I'm with you aside from tor
@bjornsdottirs@evokegts.umbrellix.org @afewbugs@social.coop bigger waste of node bandwidth
@afewbugs RSVP at such and such email, such and such PGP key, check with me at the fire station if you don't know that key
@afewbugs
I use Signal for my DnD group chat and it's an excellent tool for this purpose.
Also an excellent tool for sharing photos of cats 
@afewbugs
Suggestions for good secure email providers? I have protonmail but now I don't know if I trust them any longer.
@afewbugs
Thanks!!
@afewbugs I always use tor to order soup for my family.
@afewbugs damn right
and furthermore, your daily life is none of anyone else's business. why should we put its details in places that are surveilled?
