    Everyone I’m close with uses Signal. Family, friends and even some coworkers.

    Almost zero. We are all in the Matrix. It’s especially necessary when you are refugees by 🇷🇺, but personally me started to use matrix a very long time ago.

    None, they barely had the energy to switch to Telegram while staying on WhatsApp when it became popular a few years ago. Nobody wants to take it seriously because they “have nothing to hide”.

    Most of the people I want to receive messages from use Signal. But to be fair (to be faaaiiiir), that number isn’t that large.

    Myself, my wife, her parents, and my parents all use it, though honestly the latter are there for grandkid pictures and I’m confident 100% of their conversations with anyone else are sms/facebook/etc.

    A bunch. I simply do not communicate without private messengers. If somebody asked me to use Matrix / Element, that’d be fine too.

    People who don’t care enough to use a private messenger are implying that they don’t care about my and our privacy. It’s quite simple for me not to want to talk to them 🤷‍♂️

    Friends are almost all on signal. Parents are bad at technology and can barely figure out sms.
