Don't give them a choice.

I uninstalled WhatsApp two years back and just told everyone I use Signal. No big lecture on Facebook is evil, why you have to use Signal etc etc.

Most people are busy being told what apps to install every 2 hours by some one or the other so they are already conditioned to being told what to do. Many just installed without even a question, cause they get tired of using sms or email with me for everything.

Yes! If you are reading this, please give Signal a try.

You might be surprised that a few people in your contact list might already have signal.

Signal has (or will very soon have, depending on when you update) group calls! This is very exciting I think. Together with the new and improved group chat, now is the perfect time to get started with Signal if you aren’t here already.

You might have more pull than you think. I was able to get my mum on signal on her iPhone. You don’t need everyone you know to be on signal. Let’s start with just the ones you talk to the most.

I've been doing this and have a fairly tech savvy circle of friends but so far I've only managed to get a handful of them to start using Signal.

I think hunan's just aren't very good at responding to threats that are somewhat vague and in the future.
