Can you expand a bit what you tell people about not liking Meta's business model? I got some people to follow me to Signal, but only for messaging with my husband and me. They don't really care for the privacy aspect, so I'm curious about your other arguments!

Well, some people called me paranoid and said "us regular people don't have anything to hide" when I told them how much data Meta collects about us. Of course, this frustrated me as my threat model is very small compared to most people here. I explained how free services where instead the user is the product work, and how much I disagree with this model. I informed them that I use FOSS almost everywhere and that they exist for the greater good of humanity.
