Just a FYI that Signal messenger is experiencing experiencing an outage at the moment with lots of messages not going through or being delayed for a long time.  Likely culprit is its sudden spike in popularity due to some high profile people tweeting about it and a large crowd of anti-government rabble looking for an app they can use that won't/can't censor their communications.
