In theory everyone around me does. I have refused to use whatsapp and fb messenger and the like for around 10 years now. As a result I don’t have contact with the majority of people I used to call friends as they refused to use anything else.
Consequently my immediate family use it and a few friends that actually cared to stay in touch do.
I have a couple of hold outs who I have contact with but pretty much everyone I’m in regular contact are on signal now.
My whole family (excluding my extended family) uses Signal to talk with me, haha.
Me and one other tech friend who appeased me. We tried simplex first, but sometimes their background service would be off and they wouldnt get messages. So we switch to Molly.
Almost zero. We are all in the Matrix. It’s especially necessary when you are refugees by 🇷🇺, but personally me started to use matrix a very long time ago.
I usually use matrix too though haven’t used it with irl friends 💪
All but two of them.
As far as I’m aware: Zero.
only one, online friend 👀
Friends are almost all on signal. Parents are bad at technology and can barely figure out sms.
All of my close friends, slowly making its way in some members of my family. Always find it funny when a friend that I haven’t seens in a while say : yeah I have signal install for some shit and I proceed to had him/her to all the stupid conversations my crazy friends made
Everyone I’m close with uses Signal. Family, friends and even some coworkers.
A bunch. I simply do not communicate without private messengers. If somebody asked me to use Matrix / Element, that’d be fine too.
People who don’t care enough to use a private messenger are implying that they don’t care about my and our privacy. It’s quite simple for me not to want to talk to them 🤷♂️
most of the people I’m closest to do. other than that it’s all Whatsapp, unfortunately.
I don’t know. So it very well may be zero.
None.
When they dropped SMS support, I no longer had a mechanism to get people to switch.
not barely enough
