I highly recommend using Signal for your DnD group chat, Tor to look up hummus recipes and an encrypted email for your wedding RSVPs. The more people are using this sort of thing for completely innocuous stuff the less suspicious it becomes, and as a bonus you feel like you're doing something helpful while you're working out minicabs and compiling your Auntie Mary's dietary requirements.
@afewbugs I regularly get kitten pictures from my aunt over Signal. They're agents of chaos.
We originally started using it over text messaging to have better iOS/Android compatibility, but I'm glad everyone is in the habit now.
