I am trying to convince my group to switch from WhatsApp to Signal and we plan to vote on it soon. So, I plan to use the replies in this thread to compile a list of reasons to use as talking points. Preferably, I need something that can be understood on a personal level as some of my friends are deeply cynical and have no concern about escaping techno-feudalism and surveillance.
I tried to move my friends to Signal. They are too lazy. So I’m still stuck using Facebook Messenger and hating it.
My family is too non techy and heads in the cloud, so I’m still using Whatsapp.
Not because I personally want to, but because I’m not a hikikomori.
