Plenty of reasons: inertia, vendor lock-in network effect, lack of knowledge or awareness, or plain ol’ stupidity.

But on a less pessimistic note: I’m pleased to say that I can reach pretty much all of my contacts via Signal these days. It’s reached critical mass where I am.

It really isn’t, and recently there have been claims that WA has 3ssentially backdoored its encryption and can read everything.

Signal desktop has been a thing for years at this point. On Linux too. However, you could not register it to desktop only. You had to have the mobile app and then register the desktop app, so there was a dependency. This is about to change now.

“It’s never that serious to take a person’s life over some fast food.”

You know shit is fucked when people need to state obvious things like this.
