Has anyone else noticed a huge uptick in their contacts signing up for Signal this month? I've added 12 contacts just in November bringing me to about 30 contacts subscribed to Signal total, which is a large increase. None of these new contacts know each other, and only 25% of them know how to write software.
Does Signal publish registration numbers?
- erelde 10y agoI did, one contact registered since last december (after I told them about it), and in the last two weeks, 3 new contacts did. I asked them if there had been something that prompted them to install it, they said it was my other contact (the first one) who told them about it. I rarely do any proselytism.
