It seems to offer the same functionality Hivetalk does but it's encrypted and it's private by default. Since these are essentially meditation sessions, having random interruptions from people popping in could potentially be disruptive. We haven't had that kind of disruption yet, and Hivetalk offers private rooms too, but we already have a Flight Club Signal group so it seemed like a reasonable thing to try next week.
If you want on Signal, DM me your Signal link, we can connect, and then I'll add you to the group.
