Oh in practice it works quite well for me, basically all my friends and family use Signal now. You can slightly push them towards that, explain the obvious pros, it’s simple to install, so it’s just a small matter of convincing. I only rarely use WhatsApp for some external groups.

Yeah destruction is done quickly, reputation and generally constructive policies (especially internationally) takes time.

What the US/Trump-Administration is doing, is just dumb (even for themselves). Europe almost has to slowly(?) cut ties with them, with what they’re currently doing. And I do think “cutting ties with the US” increasingly gets more popular for a reason… Let’s just hope that the same fate won’t come over europe and that the current success of right-wing parties in europe is temporary…
