This morning, my entire family either switched or said they already had a Signal account. Now we have a family Signal chat.

I expected resistance, not compliance! I'm very happy.

Did you drug them?

HAha, nice work man. My friends are deathly afraid of anything internet that isnt corpo net. They wont touch the fediverse or signal with a 49.5ft pole.

Did you give them reasons? People I know willingly give google and m$ all their data without a blink and dont care. Why would they do something inconvenient ?

I do feel like just saying im leaving fb messenger, if you want to talk get signal. But then ill just be left out.

    There's one person in the group chat who will often rant, especially about political topics. That person actually was already on Signal but also participated in the group chat.

    After one rant in the group chat, I said that we should all switch to Signal, as it's more privacy respecting and therefore a safer place to have opinions.

    Apparently that was enough.
