So here’s the thing, every time I try to move away from Facebook messenger I run into the same problem, nobody else in my friends or family actually want to use a secure, private messenger app like signal or telegram, my wife, my parents, my in-laws, my friends they’re ALL on Facebook and they will never take signal seriously enough to actually use it, it really bums me out that there are these far superior options but without anyone else using them they’re pointless…
Anyway what apps do you use to stay in touch with people?
Durov literally decided to leave his home, country, post of CEO after threatened by Russian authorities to share VK user’s data, he could’ve earned millions if not billions is he did so still he chose to leave the country and settle somewhere else. You all just yap, no one will use signal because it lacks a lost of features and no one knows if it is backdoored for FBI or not because it’s literally based in the USA. And most importantly, no one cares about that much privacy. Finally telegram fixed those rare vulnerabilities and frankly no protocol is perfect. IMO, telegram is perfect balance of easy to use + feature rich + privacy + a lot of users (more than X).
