I've been using Signal since like 2016 when it was also my sms messenger. I'm also a federal employee. I've tried so many times to get people to use it and no one did that I eventually gave up trying. Until 2 weeks ago. Now I have well over 100 Signal contacts. Mostly government employees but a lot of others as well.
