> Everybody I know is on Whatsapp/Signal
I wish I could say this. It seems the US is the only country where everyone wants to continue using SMS/iMessage for everything. It's literally the only way to communicate with most of my American friends.

I blame Android adoption, and the fact that Google never built an iMessage competitor so they are stuck with 20 year old SMS.

- dhsysusbsjsi 6y agoThe last three weeks I’ve slowly been moving all of my friends and group chats onto Signal (from WhatsApp, which is about to be a huge privacy disaster. If it’s not already...) Most non-nerd friends just do what they’re told and love the idea of “Signal is WhatsApp but Zuck isn’t reading your messages”.
