tl;dr: after pushing rcs so hard for years, killing hangouts well after forgetting about it, & hiding it from gmail, google now wants you to use its (and google allo’s) successor, google chat.

Please use Signal. It is a great alternative!
Signal is great. But it’s so hard to convince anyone in my family to use it as almost everyone here (in Finland) uses whatsapp to communicate.
But I have few groups in signal with my IT-related friends.
Surprisingly it’s been really easy to get people on signal, haven’t had to really try convincing people at all just explain what it is and they get it
still can’t get my friends and family on it, have to use messenger which is quite the pain lol
Got my immediate family on it. Miss some features when forced elsewhere.
