I understand that it may be problematic sometimes but this was very smooth. I didn't even say anything.

A: what's your number for the whatsapp group Me: I don't have whatsapp because of facebook. B: ok, we have to use signal then A: ok

And that was it. Life can be very easy sometimes

People dont install Signal for me, especially feo groups. They use arguments like "yeah, and I also might have reasons not to use Signal like I do with Whatsapp"

Kinda disrespectful to put a line against a data selling app and comparing it to "nah, I just dont wanna"

To be fair that does take effort
