Good. It's the only encrypted channel I trust right now.

I'd consider using them if I didn't need to use a phone number to register. My friends and family stick with Briar as a result.

Hey man, if you can convince anyone to use Briar, do that. I have better luck getting people to use Signal because it's way more popular and easier to sign up. And if I want to know if someone uses it, I can find out instantly.

After years of trying, I finally got my wife to use signal!

I text with her the most so it's a big win for me (and her even if she doesn't realize it.)

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

I've gotten a couple dozen people chatting with me on Signal at this point, including my parents.
