I used to pitch signal's encryption first. I got into so many pointless arguments that I stopped even mentioning encryption. What's signal? Its an app with group chat and video calls. That's all you need to know.
Two of my friends independently discovered the secret to converting their families to signal. Make it a premium form of communication. Tell people close to you that you check your whatsapp or facebook occasionally because of the spam volume... The best way to reach me is on signal.
Had a kid this year and we don't post pix of him to social media. They all get sent to a signal group. You want the baby pix? You get signal! Even his 90-year-old great grandma is in it.
It must feel good to known they aren'tnusinf your child as data collection to sellnyou ads! Keep those photos off social media!
