Not sure why anyone would use it. I certainly wouldn't.

The reason is the network effect. I want to use signal or rather even an EU based messaging service, but everybody, including businesses, are on WhatsApp in my country.

Yeah. Younger ppl are on telegram, but that’s worse than WhatsApp so not much to be done

In an ideal world, maybe. Perhaps we will see more of that thanks to RCS, since major players like WhatsApp, Message (Facebook) and iMessage will have to open up and be interoperable with other messaging systems.

convince new contacts to use signal that probably should be a good starting point
