Here in South Europe people mostly use Viber. Edit: I was very unaware about situation in Southern Europe as I've learned from this post... Most people in Croatia use Viber!

How do you convince them to use Signal? I would like to use your tactics

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I have some fruit booter friends. I peer pressured then into signal the same way other people peer pressuresd them into buying an iPhone.

I think it's pretty poetic.

Hey Bob, I got these photos I should send you, do you have signal? No, you really should, end to end encryption is a basic human right. Here hand me your phone I'll help you set it up. Hey look at that you got a bunch of people already using signal. All right here are the photos I promised you.

Alright. This is basically the tactic I used with my dad and it worked so I think I'm doing alright!
