Granted, the part

The globally recommended app by privacy and security experts, Signal, is now being downloaded massively and tops the Danish Google Play Store

is a little ironic, but you gotta push this winning tide and then work from that.

    The issue is that it’s already pretty hard to convince people to use something easy like Signal, most people just don’t care enough for something “complicated” like XMPP-based messengers, especially if mainstream app stores had to stop letting EU-based users install messengers with these features.

      Well, yes. But when it comes to digital independence Signal isn’t better than WhatsApp. At least recommend something like Threema if you think the much better alternatives are too hard.

        Except Meta fully owns the WhatsApp metadata, and frankly Signal is a lot more trustworthy about its e2e implementation being actually, in practice, secure.
