      There’s one slight issue with Signal and it’s that none of my contacts is using it and I’m not going to be the guy telling them to install it just so that they can talk to me.

        You should. If they’ll literally stop talking to you over an app choice how good of friends are they?

          Aren’t you doing the same thing to them in this case?

      Legitimate question: would Signal or Matrix be the most desirable place to end up in a hypothetical post-WhatsApp Hegemony world? Or XMPP for that matter?

      I’ve honestly never got my head around the difference in terms of the pros and cons of each.
