I have heard some people use google voice for some of what I want. Phone 2fa and a number behind their signal account only.

I'd like to also protect the number I use for texting normies who won't get on encrypted comms. I don't want to give google all those messages and calls to do it.

I use signal for all my communications with my friends and family. SimpleX with people I don't know that well. Google voice number for spam trap. My actual phone number i don't use for anything. I have it set to silent and never look at it.

I used to stress out and try to juggle numbers and communication paths for normies and then one day I had enough. I let everyone know that if you want to contact me then you have to go through signal. That I will not be checking any other numbers and you will not get a response from me.

Most people were surprisingly adaptive

Sadly, still using my phone for fiat mine stuff.

Jealous that you can do that everywhere. I did it to the grandparents. "My wife and I will no longer be sending any pics or information about our kids over unencrypted methods. Get on signal or go without"

Sometimes you just have to be the weirdo

They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society.

Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental illness.
