Outside of the tech-bubble we are all in, security-blablabla sounds good - but ordinary people just prefer any sorts of like WhateverAppMyFamilyUses.
We're stuck with alternatives, that the crowd doesn't prefer.
- INTPenis 7y agoActually I find Signal to be among the easiest apps to use for secure communication. My 68 year old mother uses it. 50 year old brother uses it. Co-workers who aren't techies use it. Now matrix on the other hand seems like the next step for us nerds, so far less available than Signal.
- solarkraft 7y agoTelegram has gotten decent adoption because it makes a good compromise of security and convenience.

- solarkraft 7y agoYes. It allows you to easily have your content synchronized between devices.
- theyinwhy 7y agoWell, my comment was not serious. By not encrypting by default they actually put your data at risk. Syncing and encryption is not exclusive and could be done in its simplest form by sharing the private key or working with subkeys. Not encrypting by default is the worst option, imho.
