Here in South Europe people mostly use Viber. Edit: I was very unaware about situation in Southern Europe as I’ve learned from this post… Most people in Croatia use Viber!

    Canada’s pretty close to America, so I’ll answer. My family uses WhatsApp. Better than unencrypted, at least.

    You’re not going to get a very representative sample here. Signal is great but a lot of North Americans haven’t even heard of it.

        Thank you, and fuck you too.

        Like, you’re not wrong, but in case it wasn’t intended telling someone their country isn’t real is generally considered an insult.

        • No, it was a lighthearted joke. I genuinely have had almost nothing but good experiences with Canadians. Like, 8/10 encounters with unknown fellow Americans is anything from indifferent to bad. Canadians, it’s been more like 1/10 is bad. Mind you, one of those was trying to bang my mom and grabbed my ass, so he can continue fucking right off lol.

          Have you never run across that before though? Where you make fun of a bad stereotype? Like, Americans treating canada like an extension is a common enough thing that I see it online all the time as a serious thing, so it becomes a joke in itself.

      Damn. Here in Quebec pretty much everyone seems to default to FB Messenger.

        I’m pretty curious to know what got a bunch of prairie farmers on WhatsApp, but I suspect it leads back to India fairly quickly. Unfortunately, French-speaking Indians are a rare breed.
