Yes it's what I do, and then I actively struggle to hold back on pushing Matrix/Element as the solution. The beauty of the federated system, it's the way the internet was intended to function, oh man I love talking about it. But, nobody unaware of Signal will ever run their own Matrix server of course.

Signal is simple, recognizable, very much like WA. A WA outage is indeed a good point in time to have a lighthearted conversation about messengers and platforms. A lot of people still don't realize Meta owns WA.

What I like is that the normy friends I have on Signal are now telling all their normy friends/colleagues about Signal and how we are still apping away while WA is down.
