I hope one day apps like Signal will be the default for everyone, not just protesters in a time of crisis.

It's my default and over a few years I've pretty much converted everyone in my life except my mom

Sadly, Signal neglects user experience, and as a result people around me all tend to migrate to WhatsApp.

They don't care that they are uploading their entire contact list to Facebook — "death before inconvenience".

Signal cares so much about UX that they're starting to agitate security/privacy diehards. They've implemented features like stickers and message reactions that the diehard community calls "useless". And they recently implemented PINs with the intention of storing your encrypted profile and settings for easy recovery on a new device.

I applaud the direction they've taken. These are the kinds of features that will acquire and retain a broader user base.

I recently stopped using Signal over the PIN thing. I do not want them to store my data on their servers, but they won't let me opt out.
