      I’m in the UK, whatsapp is ubiquitous and unavoidable as hard as I try. I made a big effort to get people onto Signal but got limited traction and once they killed the sms support those I’d converted ditched it. Viber is dead, no one uses it or threema.

      That’s crazy, I can’t tell you a single person under 80 years old that don’t use it here (Southern Europe), even the most technology agnostic farmer dad knows it, and use it. I thought that was the case in all of Europe too.

        Viber is popular in some countries.

          @pileghoff @monobot @privacy I’ve only heard of it being referred to as “chat for drug dealers.”
