I wish Signal was as popular. Or that Matrix was as user-friendly.

The problem we have is trying to get our friends to jump ship to a new alternative. Pretty much any barrier, even small, prevents people from doing this because they already have a working app that does what they need.

People keep saying this, but the problem is even those who know better keep Whatsapp installed alongside Signal. Trying means leaving Zuckerberg’s messenger and notifying your friends you’re only on Signal from now on. I did that and even my pre-boomer parents now use Signal.
Not if they need to contact me.

They need to combat the insane spam problem before they can truly take off.

Ngl I’m becoming successful at convincing people I meet to message me on signal if they ever need me and I’m not there

As a user of both iOS and Android, that would greatly inconvenience me due to the lack of multi-device compatibility.

I’m pretty sure Matrix has both iOS and Android clients.
