> cutesy features

Personally, I don't care much for features supporting cyber-grooming. What's the point of using cutesy features to attract users who don't care about security, just so someone else can _securely_ cyber-groom them?

Are you somehow equating stickers and grooming? That takes quite a leap of imagination.

Stickers aren't targeting young audiences in any sense. It's very weird to draw such conclusions just if you're not using them yourself (if that's the case).

Can you elaborate? I'm not totally sure what you're defining "cyber-grooming" as here.

The point is: if those users don't use Signal, you're forced to use another IM when you want to communicate with them.
