I have like 40 people on Signal and regularly chat with a dozen of them there. Some people see the benefits, others don't. I am lucky.

That sounds great! So far, after five years, I have won a single person. Even back when Signal worked as a more regular messenger. Happy for you ๐Ÿ™‚

Hopefully we can all get more people on it. I adopted Signal almost ten years ago, so that helped. Keep spreading the word and it'll grow.

Thanks for the encouragement! The one person is a key player in that network so maybe! Hard to fight with the apple folks.
