Hi all,
What do you use instead of Whatpsapp? Or what are you planning to use?
I use Threema, but unfortunately most people don't want to pay for something... :(
I don't want to use Signal, because that's based in the US.
So then there aren't much known options anymore.
What do you all use?
What should I let my friends use, who don't want to use threema?

I suggest adding signal and telegram in your next poll. My grandma can use Signal. I avoid Telegram but it is popular nonetheless.
@basvanhaastregt Sorry I only read your full post after voting and responding. Signal hosting on AWS is a vulnerability. Although backdoors are absent, Amazon could shut down the servers like they did Parler. I expect that to be unlikely because of the backlash and that Moxie has a contingency plan. It is just the easiest service for the less competent people to use and adopt. We all can relate with the difficulty of getting some people to encrypt. XMPP and Matrix are my preferred.
@krock
I left Signal out because it's, as far as I know, based in the US.
I don't want to use services that are based in the US, because there are questionable rules there.
