I just don’t see it happening. Shit I have a hard time getting them to use god damn Whatsapp or Telegram (still bad but at least better than Instagram).
They are all iPhone users in the US so as you may expect they are too damn lazy to install another messaging app despite having Instagram Snapchat Tiktok BeReal and whatever shitty social media app that exists on the App Store.
For the love of god don’t just say “you need bettee friends” 😂 cause let’s be honest finding a privacy conscious person that you also can get along with in the US as Gen Z is practically impossible.
We should be aware that signal might not be the promised lands. It was created by a CIA affiliate. It’s also suspectible to National Security Letters from the U.S., requiring it to disclose information about its users.
A viable alternative might be France based Olvid. But I haven’t done much research on them.

Tor was created and is funded by the US Navy. Does that mean we should stop using Tor? Also Signal was asked to provide data previously and the oy data they were able to provide was the last time the user logged on, and the time that they registered which is farrrrr outside of my threat model and 99.99999% of people’s threat models
Signal is way better than a lot of the alternatives as they do not have much data about you.
