  I only text people I know IRL and none of them are tech literate enough to use something other than the default messenger app, let alone hack anything to obtain sensitive info. And if a 3rd party wants to hack my messages, they’re gonna see a LOTTA penis, so fuck it.

    So, they also don’t use WhatsApp, Instagram and so on, because they would need to install an app? Oo
    Why even bother with a smart phone? WAP and MMS should suffice…

    Around here even the most tech illiterate use Whatsapp for messaging. No one™ with a smartphone uses the default messenger app. So I’d say it is more an issue of expectation and motivation, rather than actual ability.

  Signal doesn’t have a marketing department worth billions or synergy with any popular platforms

  I still get the occasional message that takes hours to deliver. I don’t trust it to always be reliable.
