I see this one a lot, mostly on HN. Nobody I actually know who uses Signal has raised that complaint. Having used multiple messaging apps for my entire adult life, I find resistance to it from technically literate people kind of surprising.
On any given day, I'm likely to use Signal, Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Discord, Slack, Matrix, and IRC. I'd like to get my contacts off a couple of those, but mostly not because it would reduce the number.
- johnchristopher 4y agoIt's not worth it discussing Signal on HN. Circle jerk is too wide.
- DrewADesign 4y agoNot even close to as big as the one that pretends to be the authority on other people's use cases and willingness to interact with technology.
- johnchristopher 4y agoLike I said: it's too wide and Signal can't rarely be discussed on HN without matrix fanboys ruining the conversation.
- DrewADesign 4y agoGood thing your use case and willingness to interact with technology is the same as everybody else's.
