   • Signal Nieuws & Tips

   In the Netherlands #Signal is at the top of app stores. Seems a critical mass has been reached and groups (families, communities of practice) are now willing to make the switch. Good!

     @jwildeboer it still makes me uneasy that it's a centralized service with servers located in the US. I'd very much prefer Matrix. But it's still much better than what most people use now, so yeah, a win.

     @MPaola @jwildeboer here in Latinamerica people use WhatsApp for everything. Then there is an scandal with Meta, they install Signal or Telegram, forget about the scandal and go back to WhatsApp.

     As a friend says convenience is the most adictive drug.

     @rbonifaz @jwildeboer most people use WhatsApp here to manage both social life and business. I guess it's both concerns about privacy as Meta has become very quickly more invasive on the other platforms and a political gesture against zuckerberg
