What’s the best strategy to migrate people of age to use matrix instead of the alternatives? With the implementation of space coming in soon, I would like other people to use this instead of discord, whatsapp, and other insidious applications.
Here’s some things I personally do to get people on. I’ve gotten my girlfriend and my family over, and I got a group of friends over to Keybase before the Zoom days.
Do NOT mention privacy/encryption to anyone who doesn’t care about that stuff. Focus on the genuine benefits beyond that: online chat (no iPhone/Android stuff), reactions/stickers/editing/replying, good UI/UX, can message from computer (or have multiple devices in general).
For this reason, you could try getting them on Wire instead. It’s also very secure (more secure than signal) but it has the drawing feature, which nothing else has, and which is very fun.
Wire [is] more secure than signal
Do you have any proof for that?
No of course not. How could I possibly have proof of something like that? Do you have proof that cycling is faster than walking?
But I will share something I wrote already.
Signal:
- based in usa
- requires phone number
- all client and server software owned and controlled by one company
- no federation
- has no web app
Wire:
- don’t have most of the terrible problems (is based in switzerland for example)
- nobody uses it. for some reason everybody uses signal.
- has a very fun built in drawing app.
That doesn’t answer the question. You can answer how secure Signal is with an audit. You can also answer the question if cycling is faster than walking by doing a study. I didn’t say walking is faster than cycling though, I asked for proof of your claim.
So, I guess, Wire is not more secure than Signal, as I thought.
What do you mean “of age”? Old people? I just set up element for my parents and tell them - I will call you on here. They don’t care where and what it is and they communicate with their friends mostly by phone or on Facebook. I don’t expect those to migrate to matrix or even signal at this point, so I wouldn’t bother with
