Signal can't work on an air gapped system. So it is entirely subject to all the available attacks on the rest of the system it is running on. Someone risking their life no the overall security of something like, say, a smart phone is not being wise. Something like Signal is OK for most people, particularly if they trust the Signal company. But when things get serious you have to: 1. Know what you are doing. 2. Keep the device that is doing the encrypting as separated from the rest of the world as possible. |

If this is the kind of thing you're resorting to claiming, we're well beyond reasonable forms of argument, and so I think it's safe to say that you agree that signal is better.
No communication protocol works on an air gapped system, and a modern Android or iOS device is going to be secure enough that you really don't need to use a special device for your messaging.
The riseup article doesn't mention anything about using a special device for your secure messaging, so I'm not sure why you think it's so important all of a sudden.
