Does anyone even use this? Or does anyone here have friends who regularly post on signal Stories?
Personally I have never seen anyone use it.

I disabled it the day the feature was released. It’s cringe-worthy social media trash, and Signal can do better. Same with the scam mobile coin stuff.
Same. Forgot it even existed until I read the title of this post.
disabled
Never touched it.
Never have
I’ve done it a couple of times, I think I need to actually tell people I’m going to use it first though!
I saw someone suggest here that it’s kind of the perfect replacement for what would have been a Facebook status or something similar back in the day: a general “hey, here’s something kind of interesting but not for anyone in particular, it doesn’t really need a response though”.
No, only have family converted to use signal.
I believe stories was a feeble attempt at competing with social media.
IIRC it was a community ask, like there were a lot of person spamming poll to have it on the Signal site. They did it because they’re democratically cool like that but I’m pretty sure that Signal core engineers felt it was bullshit
Disabled + the few contacts that agreed to use Signal won’t be using it
I used it for shit posting, like documenting my afternoon in a IKEA and my slow descent into agony and despair.
I have a friend that travel a lot and he use them to show us what is happening and not slow down the thousands of conversations/groups my friends made
Nope. I disabled it immediately
Yep! Not a ton of people but its catching on
I don’t use it, and I’ve seen less than a handful in total from my contacts.
But if it did or does make others join Signal then I’m glad that it’s there.
Nope. Tried it once, zero views. I think the feature is there for feature parity with other apps. But the people I was able to convert truly don’t gaf. Maybe we are just too sophisticated.
I do. Only a few of my contacts look at them, though, and even fewer post things to them.
Yes. Pretty much every day. Its pretty much the only form of private social media, unfortunately.
I haven’t used it yet, but I will probably use them for travel updates later. People ask for holiday photos, but I don’t want to bother sending them as dms. I totally understand that people disable them though.
