The struggle is real. The challenge with any communication method is that if few or none of those with whom you communicate will use it, it has no value Being by yourself on the most secure, censorship-resistant island in the world is useless. This is not a generational problem. It is pervasive. I am a #Boomer, yet I have been a #privacy advocate for more than 20 years. I have used PGP, XMPP, Signal, the original WhatsApp, etc over the years. I never succeeded in getting even 10% of my family, friends and close associates to adopt any of these tools, much less more than one. It has taken a decade to just get all the members of my immediate family onto an encrypted platform for messaging. And the holdouts were not the old folks. This seems like a serious problem to me, and I have no idea how to solve it.
