Yes, "my friends use it" argument greatly impedes switching to another app, even though it is better. Anyway, slowly, but surely I expand my circle of Signal us

Yes, "my friends use it" argument greatly impedes switching to another app, even though it is better. Anyway, slowly, but surely I expand my circle of Signal users. Current version of Signal is actually quite polished, at least not worse than WhatsApp was the last time I used it (before acquisition by Facebook), and I rarely hear complaints about usability anymore from people who have actually tried it.
- Outpox 9y agoI'm trying to push Keybase within my friend group. I've yet to try Signal.
- Jtsummers 9y agoDitto, but you'll have more luck with Signal. They'll see the value of it more quickly. I'm currently trying to get 3 people to use Keybase. My girlfriend/fiancee: Lives in another country, we're sharing data involving PII to deal with immigration stuffs. My sister: We have a side project and I'd like to use the team based, private git repos. A colleague: Same as sister, plus he's generally interested in privacy/security. And it's still been like pulling teeth to get him to do it.
