I thought I recognised your username. To clarify, again, avoiding the news is not avoiding politics. Politics is everything.

How you interact with friends and family is politics. How you pay for your groceries and where you buy them from is politics.

I’ve been trying for weeks to get friends to move to Signal. They don’t have to delete WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger to use Signal. Some of these people have got degrees in various computer disciplines and still won’t even give it a try. I don’t understand the reluctance to try new software either. If their job or uni asks them to use a piece of software they’ll try it no bother but if a friend asks it’s impossible. It’s so strange.
