Unfortunately there is only one way to get older generations onto a new app: make it the only place where they can see pictures of their grandkids

(I'm serious tho. When you have kids you can get their grandparents to install ANYTHING if you tell them it has pics of the new baby.)

    Yeah, but you probably don't want to put pics of your kids up on the internet.

    Next best thing is to make a Signal group and disallow anyone else to send messages in it. Then they can reply to you directly with their comments and that will "keep you in touch".

    There was an app called "Circles" made expressly for this purpose that used Matrix, but it's been abandoned for a while.
