Hey man, if you can convince anyone to use Briar, do that. I have better luck getting people to use Signal because it’s way more popular and easier to sign up. And if I want to know if someone uses it, I can find out instantly.
I have a little pull in my group of friends. I’ve got 11 kids and I make them use Briar (SMS is removed from the phones) and so their friends end-up getting Briar and then their friends’ parents have also gotten it. So we have a nice little circle of people using it.
I’ve tried to get everyone I know on Signal, so far my mom is the only one who uses it and that’s only when she accidentally taps the wrong icon when she intended to send me an SMS.
And then there’s my stepsister who complains about not being able to have a unified chat because she and family are apple while most of the rest of us are android. Signal Diane, it’s a cross app platform that solves your problem…but no it’s not apple so it won’t work…🤬

Nice
Convenience vs security
Security vs having someone to message.
