This may sound a bit dumb, but eh.
So when that WhatsApp privacy policy change thing happened in early 2021, I tried switching from WhatsApp to Signal and Telegram. Telegram kinda stuck with me since i still get news from there, but Signal… not really because I didn’t care about privacy back then. Now, I want to make the switch from WhatsApp to Signal, and I have a few plans on how to do that. But, is it worth it, since most people in Türkiye use Whatsapp and even if I switch my family and friends over to Signal, they’ll still use WhatsApp since most people are on there.
So, yeah. Should i try, or is it not worth doing? Let me know, also, thanks in advance!
(Note: Most of my family and friends don’t really care about privacy.)

It doesn’t matter.
No solution is correct, if the underlying principle is wrong - if you take a sword from a violent man, and give him a wooden fork, he will still jab someone with it.
The principle, the mentality needs to be changed, not communicators, that might as well get hacked next month, or turn out to be snitching on their users since day #1.
The way we talk. The topics we cover in talks. The language, the things we share - this is where the propblem lies, not in the tools we’re using.
A violent man with a sword will kill someone, a violent man with a fork might give them a scratch.
Both suck, but one is better.
