I just don't see it happening. Shit I have a hard time getting them to use god damn Whatsapp or Telegram (still bad but at least better than Instagram).

They are all iPhone users in the US so as you may expect they are too damn lazy to install another messaging app despite having Instagram Snapchat Tiktok BeReal and whatever shitty social media app that exists on the App Store.

For the love of god don't just say "you need bettee friends" ๐Ÿ˜‚ cause let's be honest finding a privacy conscious person that you also can get along with in the US as Gen Z is practically impossible.

The real chads get their friends to use Session. Better than Signal imo

What makes it better? In your opinion

Edit: just reading about it and it sounds almost too good to be true

Aye. I have yet to go through the entire Whitepaper but it is very well made

Thanks for replying. I'm gonna read more on it, maybe even the whole white paper if my brain can stand it (lol).

It is better but is even harder to convince others to use than Signal because you have to share some random generated ID and then name the contacts accordingly and looks like some hacker man shit to normies so they will probably get turned off.
