Showerthought: My neighbor finally asked me what Signal was for
We were grabbing mail last week and he saw the app icon on my phone. I just said 'texting, but private', and his face went from confused to this quiet 'oh' like a lightbulb went off. How do you explain encryption to someone who's never thought about it without sounding paranoid?

Man, that's such a real moment. It's tough to explain without making it sound like you're hiding something. You just want your texts to be your business, you know?

Wait, you have to explain your private texts to people, @robin489? That's wild.

your texts to be your business" - yeah, honestly I used to roll my eyes at this stuff until I got burned.
