    The most recent example I’ve seen is a group of parents to keep in touch for school daily life.

    Your approach is good, but I guess most of the people would be like “Hm, I already have a Whatsapp account, can’t we just use that? I’m not that tech savvy”

      Yeah, true. I think there’s no way around being pushy/almost manipulative.

      “I fortunately no longer have WhatsApp. Especially with things concerning our children, I would NOT trust Facebook with that. I am completely open to using something else, does not have to be Signal - do you use any secure and private messenger apps where we can create a group?”

      It’s an uphill battle for sure. And you have to think about and set your own limits. I hate using WA, but for some contacts, it’s better than having NO contact.
