@Sucuk @signal
I do think it make sense. I was in a similar situation. I was on #signal for a long time. But the whatsapp privacy thing made a lot of people to move. At that time, I got one of our friends group as well as my immediate family group moved on to signal. All of them including me are still on whatsapp, but these groups are only on signal. I also insist on communicating with folks in these groups (and for that matter anyone who is on signal & whatsapp) only on signal. Now at least all the messaging within my family happens over signal. And similar case, none of these folks are worried about privacy much. But if you can make it a habit to make people use it, I guess it sticks.

However, I have seen the number of contacts on signal has dropped considerably in the last couple of years. Probably you need another privacy policy hiccup with whatsapp or telegram before people flock back on to signal again!
