Where Soatok goes over why checklists are meaningless when trying to figure out if something is private or just for comparisons in general.

    The point is that people interested in privacy and security shouldn’t pay attention to such shallow ‘privacy’ recommendations but should actually do their best to understand things and read writeups etc.

      Tables are a great starting point. So is something like alternativeto.net and just go down through the list by popularity until you get to something sane.

      There is also going to be disagreements about what is best. There is no best app. We all have unique needs and concerns. I know I disagree with many things Op said in such an absolute way.
