Unsure if you’re a signal user and/or joking but I’ve had a steady stream of “X is on signal” messages the last week

The number of my contacts on signal has increased from 3 to 35 in 2 days.

Yeah me too, +15 or so contacts

for you and sibling - from the FT today:

> Signal was downloaded 8.8m times worldwide in the week after the WhatsApp changes were first announced on January 4, versus 246,000 times the week before

Yes, Signal has also seen a large influx, so much so that the registration OTPs failed to deliver and Signal was working on that (with carriers) to sort it out. This was in the news a few days ago.
