this has more weight: threema is the biggest "alternative" (after whatsapp and telegram) chat app among my peers. There's a sizable non-tech but pro-privacy part of the population that exclusively uses threema. This will be the first time they ever hear of this.

Threema being paid up front makes it harder to adopt for average uses. Signal is great option and wish more would use it.

It would be if signal would have resisted the temptation to go cryptobro. They didn't, and they lost all credibility as a result.
