Is there an alternative? (I currently only use Signal).
Also something where features work? Since this week my Signal "Something went wrong with you username, it no longer is connected to you. You can try to get a new one"

Of these, https://simplex.chat/ seems the most promising, thanks to a level of decentralization.
EDIT: Switzerland is not a member of E.U.
switzerland is NOT in EU
Excerpt from their main web page:
Threema is 100% Swiss Made, hosts its own servers in Switzerland*, and, unlike US services (which are subject to the CLOUD Act, for example), it is fully GDPR-compliant.
(Need more coffee)
Still GDPR is unrelated to what we are talking about
Developers could start to employ software activism and dis-allow licenses for software they develop by European governments citing the reasons.
Perhaps Signal can deploy a version for Europe that is licensed for use only by governments and scans the hell out of them looking for corruption using AI.
It just means you only store the data you need, you track how the data is used, and you allow data subjects the possibility to modify/remove said data.
Decentralized protocols
They poke a hole in signal and all secure messaging /communication is screwed. it wont matter what "other" product you use.
