Well, it's harder now. Back in the day I migrated people to text secure then over to signal. So it was just an upgrade to their texting. Now that Signal dropped texting it's harder for regular people to use it. There was a large debate and the people wanting to bring in more new people lost.
Today I "sell signal" for people who want to share pictures (SMS never works with AT&T resellers and cheap phones), people who want to get my pictures when I'm out of the country, and people who want my "technical support" for media.
But there are some people who won't get on Signal and they just miss out on my trip pics they want to see. That's on them.
