Most people, by themselves, have very little say in what messaging apps the people that they need to talk to happen to use. They have people that they need to talk to, and they will use the same apps that those people use. Unless they want to be super hard liners about it, and are willing to stop messaging people who won't use their preferred apps. The people on the other side, who almost always care a lot less about the topic, tend to look poorly on this.

- 31337Logic 1y agoThis comment makes no sense since you are a part of the "people" group you just described. It's entirely possible to sway your group of friends from Whatsapp to Signal. I've done it myself. I'm not saying you should. I'm just saying your comment is logically self refuting.
- lnfromx 1y ago„It‘s entirely possible to sway your group of friends from WhatsApp to Signal“ is an assumption, I don‘t think is universally true. Especially since you base it on your own experience. I just recently made the switch but for me it meant cutting some contacts for now. Especially non-tech people put you in a tinfoil-hat category pretty fast so its not an easy problem if you can‘t communicate well enough.
- abenga 1y agoThis assumes you have one isolated group of friends who communicate mostly with each other and not as much to people outside this group. You would need to convince your friends+family to switch, then they in turn need to convince their other friends+family to switch, and so on. What your friends did is install Signal to communicate with you.
- illiac786 1y agoI think you are making the assumption people cannot use two apps. I don’t know a single person using Sognal that doesn’t also use WhatsApp. If they use signal, I will communicate with them on signal. That’s how the situation evolve. Install signal, have people contacting you on signal.
