Wire, Threema, or Signal? What am I going to recommend to friends and family on WhatsApp? I leaning towards Wire right now even though I used Threema in the past.

@kensanata

I never tried Threema. But I like Wire better than Signal, though Signal probably looks more familiar to WhatsAss users. ;)

@wion Yeah. My mom picked Threema after giving Signal a try and moved the family chat from WhatsAss to Threema.

@kensanata

Maybe I should try it. My mom seems to struggle with Signal (tech in general). Treats chat apps like email; writes long unbroken passages the length of blog articles.

@kensanata

oh, Switzerland too. I don't know why, but I like that.

@wion I live in Switzerland and I still don’t understand why everybody else likes that fact. Good PR, I guess. 😀

@kensanata

I meant Threema, not you. ;)

Switz just seems like a beautiful country to me, with the Alps and lakes and all. And it's close, just over the boarder. I'm right by Basel.

@wion Ah. Recently I was surprised to learn that both Threema and Wire are in Switzerland.
