    No-one has moved off WhatsApp to Signal, I’d probably encourage them to go to Matrix at this point.

    I don’t do Facebook, just lurk under a pseudonym so I can follow some groups that only post there.

      Explaining Matrix to new users is pretty hard. Signal looks and feels exactly like WhatsApp though. It’s much easier to understand for new users (at least in my experience).

      I would do Matrix but doesn’t that require hosting your own server?

        Not at all. There are plenty of instances available to join, although most people default to matrix.org (including me).
