Q: How do you convince people to use privacy respecting technologies for communication?
I am looking for real life use-cases to include into my #FOSDEM talk and beyond.
If you have encouraged someone to switch to say Signal, or Sessions, or XMPP or some other tool/protocol, please share here or via DM.
Anonymity is guaranteed. You can use also my Sessions messenger session: 0531634331f5b6be12375bf4229412eed3f2f3543cfe119df37e1b72c883143d4a
@bogo the children/teenagers in my family all use signal: it was easy to convince the parents: private, secure, hideable phone number (and avoid unwarranted contacts) and usable without Google/PlayStore.
The latter point being important, as many parents don't want their 11 year old kid to have a full blown phone.
I was surprised to find out, how well that worked: the children have a lot of their friends&contacts on Signal.
Sadly, as they grow older, the adults' Whatsapp network kicks in.
