I second this, its insane his deep WhatsApp has got into the zeitgeist and its barely 15 years old. People will look at you like your insane, if you use anything other than whatsapp.
The hardest surveillance app to quit is whatsapp. The network effect is very strong. So many family and friends groups that it would be hard to abandon.

Still, I'm ready to do it as soon as I can get a decent alternative for private messages and group chat.

It will take a lot of convincing, but I'm autistic enough that I can drag some of my contacts along and ignore the protest of others. Hopefully leading by example.

It would really help if Nostr DMs and group chats worked!
