Signal, Session, Proton, & Nostr are what I’m moving towards.
quotingWe had this phase where all of us privacy-conscious freaks thought WhatsApp was evil. And we were promoting Signal. But at the same time, everyone of us complained that no one in their circle could be convinced to use Signal.

Now, 7-8 years later, it has happened. I have more contacts on Signal than on WhatsApp. My family, my best friends and people I work with. More things happen through Signal daily than through WhatsApp. WhatsApp has lost in my circle, which stretches from Europe, to Africa, and to the US. It wasn't always easy, but one had to remain hard and consistent. One had to say, "If you want something from me, you have to contact me through Signal." It took years, but we finally won this little battle, alhamdulillah.
Anyone who continues to primarily use WhatsApp is either a toddler or a loser.
Take that as a template for how things that seemed unchangeable can indeed change, بإذن الله.
