Signal her group messaging too. Sleep had usernames.

Send out messages… “hey install this privacy messaging app.”

Then start making groups then start sending jokes and funny funny videos on the group messaging channels.

Must people will actually do their research when they see it and install it initially.

It’s when you try to get people on it with one on one texting is when i find it the most difficult because you’re the only person they will use it with.

[Most] people will actually do their research when they see it and install it initially.

Will they though? Do you know most people? I doubt most people will do research. I think a large share of Lemmers will do the research. But we can be a different kind of people in certain aspects.

  I doubt it, a lot of lemmy users just repeat ad nauseum whatever they read here but don't care about analysing it, understanding it or admitting everyone's context is different.
  
  You can see it in this thread, just saying that everyone should quit everything meta they get their feeling of superiority, but ignore how hard it is to convince a common person to switch, try or upgrade whatever they use.
  
  You can see it a lot on the linux vs windows discussions, most show 0 empathy or understanding when it comes to other's needs and use cases.
  
  I see propaganda news from my country and it gets a lot of upvotes, nobody cares about researching why someone from the same country could get mad about it.
  
  So yeah... I don't share your optimism about lemmy users.

    You’re probably right. Even more to my point! People don’t do research, in general. 😩

  I’m my experience, Yes. I just say it’s privacy oriented and when I say research, basically they will look up a search result or 2 and call if a day.

    [In] my experience
    
    Anecdotal evidence might be uplifting but, alas, not really general proof. But I’m really glad you found a way to get people to switch! I see your persistence and it’s impressive. ✊
