For example, on WhatsApp, use the whole 25 character limit for profile name. Examples:

Bob Moved To Signal.org

Alice MovedTo Signal.org

CharlieMovedTo Signal.org

Say Signal.org, not Signal, because they won’t know it’s an app.

Use your about section too. Same on Discord, Steam, Instagram, etc.

    I think because simpleX is more open source, self-hosted, and maybe slightly more anonymous. Not sure how the usability trades off for that if at all because I haven’t used it (I mainly use signal and discord)

    It also doesn’t seem to be a mass migration by any means, just that simpleX is a bit better if you are super hardcore about your privacy.

      Its a LOT more anonymous, not slightly.

      For the overwhelming majority of users phone number alone = no anonymity, then there’s the fact you’re relying on a corporation to store all your messages on their closed source centralized server…

      Its not more open source. It is at all. Signal is dependent on the backend which is as proprietary as bluesky. You can absolutely not self host it which technically binds you to the next single point of failure.
