The FBI, before Trump and Musk got their grubby little claws into it, warned everyone in the US to switch to E2EE messaging, and they explicitly mentioned Signal by name as one of several options.

This was/is due to the still-ongoing Salt Typhoon hack, and if the government is telling people they need to hide their info—an entity with agencies and bills set up to spy on its citizens— it's probably something everyone should be doing yesterday.

So yes, you should be using Signal, SimpleX, a Matrix client, etc.
