I've convinced almost my entire friend group to switch over to Signal
It took a long time and some big fuckups by Messenger, but we even got a group chat going on Signal after all
That's really impressive. I live in the land of wall-to-wall WhatsApp
I've noticed for my North American friends it's easy to convince them to move to Signal (from SMS or Messenger), but my European friends are all pretty entrenched in WhatsApp. On one hand WhatsApp is certainly more secure, but on the other we can't really trust a closed source implementation (and they'll still collect metadata which makes me uncomfortable).
I'm just glad I don't have to use SMS anymore honestly
