My downstairs neighbour who isn't particularly technical and to whom I've not mentioned any of this has just appeared on Signal... so yup, people are moving.
I see loads moving to Telegram. I wonder what it is that will cause people to move to Telegram or Signal. I dont think either one of them is adverstising, or influencing anyone directly. What is it in the Societal psychy to pick Telegram over Signal? They know no difference at this stage, the 2 platforms are on equal footing, why the one en mass and not the other?

It's just what people have heard of.
A mate responded with "what about Telegram".

I don't use Telegram and won't. The encryption is home-rolled, voodoo and weird. Early on they discovered multiple fundamental issues, and their press doesn't align to their reality: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&u=http://habrahabr.ru/post/206900/
The Telegram protocol is such that engineers who work on encryption pull funny contorted faces when looking at what Telegram did.
