Comment on Signal boss warns app will exit Australia if forced to hand over users’ encrypted messages
quokka@aussie.zone 3 weeks agoas with Signal, is not really about what you’ll use, but what alternative gains traction and you can persuade your contacts to use. I hope one of the decentralised alternatives is able to rise to mainstream status.

Persuading enough people I know to use Signal was hard enough already. I only got lucky because I already had some other friends who were already on the platform. It's much easier to persuade people if you tell them other people are already using it. I just get frustrated that people are too lazy to tap a couple of buttons on their phone to download an app.

One of my friends is just so opposed to using anything else other than Meta Messenger and SMS. He says he doesn’t want app bloat. I get it, but I’d also like to not have corporations spying on our chats. 🙄

App bloat lol. Meta apps are some of the most bloated and resource hungry apps out there.
