This. But also, network effects are real. So people need to put in the work to convince their network to switch to Signal.

Exactly. Sometimes you really have to drag the horse to the trough.
I've been using Signal with my family for many years. It's our standard app.
One of the only things I don’t like about Signal is that my linked computer loses access randomly every so often, and messages don’t sync over from my phone. Maybe it’s a security thing, but I don’t understand it.
Hmm. I don't have these issues. Mine syncs just fine.
For example, I last opened Signal on my Mac in October. I didn’t open it again until a month later and it told me it was unlinked and that I needed to relink it through my phone. Messages that came through within that month gap don’t appear on desktop. 🤷🏻♂️
