       | So once everyone switches to Signal, Facebook just gets out the
       | checkbook and buys Signal... rinse and repeat

       | Signal also released profile pictures for whatsapp. Let's others
       | know you've made the switch.

       | Probably a bad time to get people started on Signal right now, as
       | it's been down for a few hours. Had to migrate back to Telegram
       | temporarily!

       | I love this collective blitzkrieg against Whatsapp & Facebook.

       | 90s called and we want our internet back. Now I hope that we will
       | see a revival of the simplicity of the 90s, where the power is
       | handed back to the people, where you could write desktop apps
       | using Visual Basic and write a webpage in HTML with frames.

       | I had my whats app status set to encourage people to contact me
       | on signal and no one swapped over 2 years. I don't think it was
       | at all effective. Having said that, now there is a wave of
       | migration so it may be enough to tip someone over the edge
       | (although I expect a short a sweet bit of text is what would
       | win).

       | A bit of an aside but I had no idea you could set your status to
       | a series of twenty images in whatsapp and I have no idea why this
       | feature exists - granted I don't tend to non-professionally use
       | messengers for communication so I'm a bit out of the loop.
