Where I live whatsapp is very much the standard. I am unable to convince even my nerdiest friends to convert to signal. But I will keep hoping that at some point people around me will start caring about their privacy!
@nonagonOrc @gabor I recognize this as well. But since I deleted Whatsapp, the urge of a quick reply was more important to them than just call; most downloaded it after a while when they found out I was serious about itπ
You are definitely right, it's a matter of commitment. Maybe soon I will be willing to cause this mild frustration with my friends.
