Is it (still) worth trying to switch my family and friends from WhatsApp to Signal? (Read all of it, please.) - privacy - kbin.social

This may sound a bit dumb, but eh....

Can i ask why exactly signal?
Well, it's more privacy-focused, feels like home, and it's not hard to get used to and it's not a data-hungry company like Meta or Google. Also Other platforms i tested didn't really fit right with me.

Well,I am quite suspicious just about signal as company.And have some reasons for that.

Okay, but what else are they gonna use? Matrix?
yeah,or matrix or xmpp
I do not have the knowledge, time or money to set up my own servers for those sadly. And it would probably take time for my family to adjust to those.
Matrix doesn’t require you to set up a server.
SimpleX, briar, session, Jami, Cwtch, … There are plenty of alternatives these days.
