It might be ironical, but it is a first step away from WhatsApp, which is the nearly 100% alternative in Germany.
It might be a 10% step only away from total dependance but 10% is better than nothing And maybe - only maybe - we can built an European Signal (or Molly) later or convince people to change to Matrix or ... do something even better in future.
Nevertheless IMHO every little step counts and if the change to Signal is the only step accepted by most we should go this step.

@secid@ieji.de yes, but instead of wasting time and effort into promoting Signal they could be promoting something else, for example, if you want to promote veganism you don't need to go suggesting sausage instead of steak as a first step, you could start by suggesting some vegan steak directly not wasting years telling everyone how great sausages are and how much more ethical than steaks and then trying again to convince them to change at some point people stop listening to you and will start thinking you are just a crazy guy that think they have got the time to be switching over and over and wasting their time learning new tools and spending time with computers
