Signal is not the perfect solution, no, but until the 2 billion users on WhatsApp switch to XMPP, IRC, Element/Riot or other options, we can still wait. The truth is that I'm glad that a small portion of people are starting to realize the importance of privacy, and I'm happy about that. Now they need to be taught that there is not just a single alternative to WhatsApp.

I'm a student, ALL my friends use WhatsApp, you want to talk with me? Signal. Come on today people have mobiles with at least 64GB of storage, delete your nudes and install Signal.

Don't agree with that, if you keep the mind of "keep WhatsApp to have contact with people and don't be alone", what is not true, people will never stop using it.

 

I've just added some alternatives to the repo that I posted about a few days ago. Don't hesitate to commit whatever you think it is a good open-source alternative.
