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.

    Sorry, but your friends don’t care about you and/or are dangerously stupid and de facto untrustworthy.

    Yep. It’s that simple, at this point.

    People stay on platforms that are literally detrimental to their wellbeing because they are addicts, to social validation, to feeling like they’re part of the popular group, to their attention span destroying dopamine hits, whatever.

    Anybody who thinks that having all of their online messages and posts be easily read by a violent fascist government and their corporate collaborators, who can easily tie them back to their entire identity … anybody who thinks this doesn’t have a high liklihood of seriously biting them in the ass… is dangerously stupid, and de facto untrustworthy.

      I think its more so willfully ignorant than stupid, which in itself could be seen as stupid I guess.

      If my 80 y/o grandma can do it then noone has an excuse
