This isn’t an ad, I wasn’t paid for this post. Just to clear the air: fuck facebook, fuck elon musk and twitter, fuck anyone who thinks this is a paid advertisement. I wish I was paid for this shit, I just wanted to spread the word. Thank you. 😀 👍
My problem with Signal is that nobody I know uses it, which unfortunately makes it useless.
Other than that, I genuinely think it’s pretty great. But you’ll have to persuade people to leave Facebook and WhatsApp en masse before it becomes ubiquitous enough to be useful.
Funny how things can be different. In my circle everybody uses it, even my mom. We’ve also had a very active group chat with my friends for many years in Signal.
How did that happen? Have you all used Signal from the beginning or did you switch over from something else
I just told my parents if they want to contact me they have to use signal, because I deleted Whatsapp. That worked pretty well
My friends appreciate privacy. Everybody knows Meta is shit, and so are the other American big corporations. My mom likes to talk with me and Signal is not a problem for her, if I reply to her messages from that channel in a few minutes anyhow. Our friend chat also has one week period until the messages are deleted for good. You can talk more freely about everyday things.
My whole family iaabon Signal because we are mixed android/iOS, and Messages sucks. I wish I could get more of my friend son it though.
