Our family group used to have a Signal chat until the older people in the family started having issues remembering their pins.

They were using MMS before, but the depth of privacy needed for them was mostly dinner plans, so when the Signal chat dried up, I didn't really care or push back on it. Whatever. I just told them that they'd get zero depth out of me beyond surface level information unless it was on Signal, but in the end our conversations never went deep enough to matter unless someone couldn't log into Jellyfin, and by that point, they'd ask in person.
