OMG, one of my closest friend groups moved entirely from WhatsApp to Signal. Hell just froze over and I like it.

  • @bastianallgeier How many people? Can you share how the whole thing happened? What was the trigger? Any learnings from the switch? Anything that others should know before doing it?

    @bastianallgeier Does signal do videos ? Have you heard of Friendica ? Wondering where and how my Facebook alumni groups could be moved ...

    @bastianallgeier yep my cycling/gigs/beer friends recently switched over from a whatsapp list we'd started in 2019 after some screwed up thing Zuck did or said got some of us riled up, painless really & before long we just deleted the old one. Not that there was every anything sensible on there, but if Meta's AI ever tells you can cure saddle sores by pissing on an electric fence and follows up with a bunch of jokes about obscure bands of the 90s 'going electric' you'll know who to blame.

  • @bastianallgeier My friend group is all on Telegram right now. Not sure I could get them all to move to Signal. At least it isn't Whatsapp. Anyone try Session yet?
