@jayeless your comments re the sudden uptick in signups going nowhere reminds me of how Signal and Telegram grew at a rate after the whatβs app / Facebook shenanigans - lots of users there - nobody using it
@JohnPhilpin Yeah, unfortunately! I guess that's the network effect β you need a critical mass of people to actually switch to the new thing, or else the people who tried to switch will slink back π
@kimberlyhirsh Thank you π
@jayeless I agree β¦ and β¦ there is inertia
I belong to a network out of the UK β¦ AND they pay to run membership software on a service β¦ but still use Facebook and WhatsApp.
At least half the members are already on signal and the system they pay for has a reasonable chat system and still they use 4 different groups in WhatsApp!
