    I’m not going to push anyone who uses a secure decentralized FOSS chat already to signal, but someone who uses telegram/viber/whatsapp is easier to get gradually on signal, which is super low effort compared to the ones you mentioned.

    I’ve tried. I’m happy that I got friends and family to move from SMS and WhatsApp to Signal. Some I got to move to e.g. matrix but that’s only a few.

    Just my two cents since you asked. I agree with you but I don’t want perfect to be the enemy of good.

    Subscription based service, huge yearly “inflation adjustments” (chase of record profits), include ads, track the person via sensors to sell the data, offer luxury packs (just enjoyment without ads, but tracking still included, just more subtle), market it and pay influencers to spread the word and document the “enjoyment” experience, lobby for government aided yearly enjoyment experiences for plebs so they don’t revolt, go public… Stonks and not an ounce of humanity left

    That sounds like a nice stack! And true, self hosting is really nice. Just wanted to give options if you don’t feel like getting into self hosting.

    Nevertheless, good luck on your privacy journey! I’m working on it too!
