I will take anything that could make people switch from Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp to Signal, even if my preference actually goes to Element / Matrix.
Lately, people around me have been installing Signal, or I've met people would already have Signal, and it's been enjoyable to, at last, participate in fun group chats. They didn't miss me before but I'm happy to be there now.
Signal works well. I'd like to be able to edit messages and react with multiple emojis like with Element/Matrix, but most importantly, Signal needs to look cool and to be something people want to install and use.
Element/Matrix too, by the way, but they need to focus on usability first at the moment.
- jbirer 5y agoI skipped Element on the basis that it needs too much information, I can use a burner SIM on signal, but I need e-mail or something to use Element.
- kitkat_new 5y agoit's probably easier to find a burner email address than getting a burner SIM. Anyways, while the default server in Element may require email atm, it is not a general requirement and depends on the server you select
