I have had Signal for the better part of 6 years, and in that time I have had.
>three contacts sign up for signal >people get mad at WhatsApp, but stick with it >the three contacts that signed up all ended up deleting it eventually
At this point I just have it installed and check if others have it when exchanging contact information but I am honestly done trying to get people to switch. I don't even think it's that secure, and Moxie Marlinkike's stupid XMR scam fork honestly put me off supporting it more vocally.
I think it was two years ago they said that it wouldn't anymore, and nothing came of it. I actually felt that would make a lot more people use it.

But I don't want signal to be the next Telegram
Zachary Moore
>give strangers your phone number What did Signal mean by this?
Michael Ward
Just delete the WhatsApp app. If people *really* need to contact you, they'll sign up for Signal
Jordan Stewart
Everyone just uses telegram as the whatsapp alternative because you can pirate on it, except they don't think it's piracy because you can download stuff on your phone not using torrents.
Jeremiah Jackson
no, they'll just text me over plain SMS which is even worse
Christopher Watson
Or they will just use sms/email Am I the only one that still mainly uses those two?
Connor Gonzalez
I mostly use SMS, is Signal any good as an SMS client, given that I don't care about privacy?
Angel Taylor
Great! Now tell them to sign up for Signal
I still use email on a daily basis, I just don't use SMS. It's shit expensive, and it's only used for retarded services that only have SMS 2FA
Levi Barnes
what's wrong with telegram ?
Alexander Sullivan
Everyone who has an iPhone uses iMessage, the default texting app. Although iMessage is always in the same lists as Signal and Telegram, so we Americans just use the glorified SMS app.
Kayden Gutierrez
There's nothing wrong with Telegram, I just see it as a social platform like Discord. I don't want to mix my social life and personal communications together, especially since Telegram requires a phone number to sign up
Parker Fisher
Nothing really, I just see it more of a social platform like Discord. I want my social life and personal communications to be on different platforms
Jayden Gomez
I use Signal exclusively as my only SMS app and just smile internally when I see one of my contacts is using it
Samuel Wright
lol all my contacts migrated
Ryan Thompson
Signal sucks from a UX perspective. Try Telegram instead. It's superior to WhatsApp, although that's still not enough to overcome the network effect.
Colton Carter
They won’t. They’ll tell me to get WhatsApp because everyone else is on it
Brayden Butler
I'm mostly pissed for their unusable shitcoin with KYC instead of fucking XMR. Fucking cash grab.
Robert Rivera
They ask for a phone number.
Jason Barnes
>It's shit expensive here, free calls and sms nationwide are included with pretty much every half-way decent data plans
