There's no other alternatives, signal maybe but it's still bad and new
Signal is clean, whatsapp is full of spam.
What do you use @NICO⚡️ ?
Hey Nico
What’s up ?
👋
Pretty much everybody on the planet is using it; Meta is subsidizing it in African countries; whole businesses run on it
Don't get me wrong I despise it too but that's why
I don't think about WhatsApp

I wouldn't say Signal is new. What's bad?
signal is tiny compared to whatsapp, if signal has the same amount of userbase then it would be full of spam too, it's garbage just like whatsapp,

south america / europe got oneshotted by it
texting *exists but they just can’t
I feel this way about telegram.
Signal is very clean, just make sure to run it with Google Play Services
it's boring, no one uses it, can't zap, need phone number, it's lame,
*IF NAILS ON A CHALKBOARD WERE AN APP
"As of early 2026, Signal has 70 to 100 million monthly active users worldwide"
I'd say "no one uses it" is a bit of an understatement, especially compared to the 400 nostr users 😅
this isn't about signal vs nostr,
it's signal vs whatsapp,
Threema exists
It’s fucking garbage
You said "can't zap" so you are drawing inspiration from nostr. Still, 100 million is not nothing

Network effect is a bitch
It's almost mandatory in Brazil. If you haven't, you're out of people lives.
So... Not a bad ideia to uninstall
