All the more motivation to encourage your friends to get on signal. I've had a discussion this week with someone, on fedi, who just can't conceive of getting off Meta products, like WhatSapp, because it has so much usage in Europe. Our work isn't done; not yet.
That person doesn't need to leave WhatsApp completely right away. They can just talk to some people on Signal and others on WhatsApp.
It's very hard to convince people to switch to privacy foucused platforms nowadays.
It's just hard to convince people to try alternatives at all. Once they've dug deep into something they want to use, they won't budge.
Generally that's not been my experience. Person to Person it's been pretty easy for the most part. I can think of one exception from the past decade, one of those "I just can't start using another app" sorts. YMMV. Persistence furthers.
