Honestly would love to use signal to chat with my whatsapp contacts. Signal could just throw in privacy notice when messaging with someone whatsapp or facebook messenger.
Currently I have signal installed and used to use it to message with my so but we have both moved to discord and use whatsapp to communicate with those that do not use discord. Still holding on to signal if and when some oddball from my contacts decides to use it instead.
moving from signal to discord is not going to be exactly helpful for your privacy, discord is completely unencrypted
I am aware of that but when all our friends or communities either use whatsapp or discord then it's just more convenient. Honestly messaging these days is a mess
I really miss that fleeting moment when all messaging apps were using either open protocols or at least they weren’t hostile against alternative clients. It was really nice to be able to use one client to log in to gtalk, msn etc. at the same time.
Then too bad.... Dont talk to them. If people want to talk to me they have to install signal.
If.
This is the only path forward.
This is the way!
