Loved ones. Especially seniors. Are the easiest to convince

You carrot them with a unique way to ping you, over tech no one else has, and they see it like an intimate connection with you

I had my elder parents and SO use it for years before friends i consider privacy aware and tech savvy... For years

Added benefit: its a lot harder to share memes over a young network with no traffic.

I guess that may change now....

Never looked at it this way but 100% true in my case. Got my parents on Signal three years ago and they have been perfectly happy.
