I keep thinking about the best way to leave WhatsApp, which in practice means the best way to encourage my family and friends to try something else with me, or just send me SMS and that's it.
Although Signal is the most direct “translation” of WhatsApp (and I use it, and contribute to its funding), it is still a centralized service that requires a phone number.
So I'm thinking of asking them to try Element X instead. Do you agree or am I missing something?
