Build your plan B. Get second passport. Get offshore bank account. Get international insurance. Have second base somewhere.
How can you sleep at night if you know that your most private information is in some database Waiting to be hacked by some geeks that will sell it on dark markets

Problem with E2EE messanger is low network. Every NPC seems to use IG DMs, Whatsapp or other bullshit.
If you are begginer, you don't need to go full-paranoic mode and switch every SW you use to open source alternative. Start with password manager, browser and email.
