Do you make it like a fun game? Like when me and my friends in school would pass eachother coded notes and the cipher was an inside joke?

I'm genuinely curious: what was the pitch that you used to get others to start using signal?

Never signal because signal is bad on requiring too much metadata (your number). It was Session for a while but since SimpleX can be hardened with Orbot (or Tor on PC) and it was way more notifications-reliable, we switched. I would much prefer Briar or even Cwtch but an iphone in the group ruins that party.

Otherwise to answer your question it is a bit of a game. I also like to remind them how, being creeped out by Aunt Matilda putting microphones and keyloggers all over, at least Aunt Matilda [most likely] has better interests for you at heart. GOOG/AAPL/MSFT have no such kinship connection yet they are surveilling in precisely the same ways. That was a decade ago, now add in the Universal Function Approximators! *Demo stable-diffusion.* *Demo lm-studio.* *Present to them a performance of Orwell's 1984.* *Show them a few documentaries on social control.* "See? Now would you like to try it?"
