Molly is another signal app but supposedly more private (no google push notifications)

I suggest Matrix/Xmpp over any of it, but good luck getting anyone’s lazy friends to register to use anything. Signal and similar messengers have easier onboarding.

I’d love to have people move over to other apps. But here in Germany it’s nearly impossible to have a messenger group on any other app than WhatsApp. Everybody is on there. For every other app there will be someone not having it installed. It doesn’t matter if 80% are on Signal, 80% in Threema and 80% on Telegram. 100% are on Whatsapp and that’s what the group will be using.

That’s not been my experience at all (also in Germany). Signal is super popular, especially with younger people (under 40). I don’t have a Whatsapp account and it’s super rare for it to be an issue.

It’s the same in Ireland, WhatsApp is pervasive. It was a great app until Zuck bought it. It’s still a good app but I hate using anything by him.

And I’d argue the same applies to the iMessage vs RCS (or actual non-SMS messengers).
Most normies would most likely not switch as they could care less about their data.
