"textContent": "submitted by AcornTickler to privacy\n123 points | 31 comments\n\nIt has been a long journey.\n\nI have been gradually convincing my family, close relatives and friends to make the switch to Signal for over two years. I am already the “tech support guy” in all my circles so most didn’t really question it. Most of my friends are quite tech-savvy, and some even did use Signal before I talked to them about it.\n\nThis also filtered out some “friends” who were never that close to me to begin with. So, that’s a bonus, I guess.\n\nOverall, my recommendation to others interested would be to tell people how much you don’t like Meta’s business model instead of the privacy aspect. I already ditched Facebook and Instagram many years ago, and this helped defend my point a bit better.",
