MODERATORS
This does not answer my question.
So you're going to somehow convince them to install SIGNAL. And they will continue to use other data-stealing communicators on the same device. Your data and privacy won't be safe.
This is true. But at least it's still LESS data that Meta et al have which is still better than doing absolutely nothing.
It also helps increase awareness around viable alternatives - many people are resistent to trying new apps because they're believe alternatives will be difficult (or whatever). By getting them to see first hand that the alternatives are just as usable, they my then go on to tell other people as such.
It doesn't matter.
No solution is correct, if the underlying principle is wrong - if you take a sword from a violent man, and give him a wooden fork, he will still jab someone with it.
The principle, the mentality needs to be changed, not communicators, that might as well get hacked next month, or turn out to be snitching on their users since day #1.
The way we talk. The topics we cover in talks. The language, the things we share - this is where the propblem lies, not in the tools we're using.
A violent man with a sword will kill someone, a violent man with a fork might give them a scratch.
Both suck, but one is better.
