    Honestly for most people this is a crazy level of paranoia. The US government can know the metadata of my friends birthday party organization group.

          Ah, fair enough.

          I realize now that I misunderstood the objection, I thought you were saying that using signal was an unreasonable level of paranoia, but I can totally see why turning off notifications seems that way.

        Honestly I don’t care if the government knows who’s all going to the party. Someone’s gonna post pictures of it anyhow. My garbage data is just more stuff for them to sort through.

        And I’m not gonna bother missing out on everything out of fear that the government will do what exactly with my data? The risk is so low for your average person.

          You say that, but what if one of them had a friend who is a communist? Could make for some awkward conversation with the authorities at some undisclosed location in the future.
