WIRE or Signal. Granted, convincing your people to move with you is like trying to get an act of Congress in play.
people download apps for all kinds of bullshit.
but messaging? nah...
They download apps for all kinds of bullshit because all their friends and people they follow are on there. They won’t install a messaging app if none of the people they interact with are there. It’s not specific to messaging. I was able to convince my immediate family to move to Signal just for our family group chats. It’s not much but it’s a start.
Couldn't even get a friend to swap to whatsapp from facebook messenger. I collect messaging apps like pokemon it seems
sad but very true 🙈
