Unfortunately it was such a pain in the ass to get people to switch to signal from WhatsApp a few years ago that to get them to switch to something like simplex over Tor or not or session would be even more of a pain in the ass.

I have it tiered. Signal for most people I know and simplex or others for closer people who will tolerate my obsession with private messaging or share in it

WhatsApp and signal are the same in my eyes

my approach is more simple: don't talk to me on a centralized platform 😹

I agree. While I wouldn't put signal and WhatsApp on the same level because of meta, I also think centralized platforms are a problem.

Agree. I keep some accs for eventual need, but all bridged to matrix and my daily conversations, family, friends, and close ones are on matrix.

I say: You text me privately or you can’t text me. Simple.
