This is a question I am wondering. I try to avoid as much as I can platforms like YouTube, Discord, Whatsapp, Zoom, etc. But I just can’t! For YouTube I love the content to much to quit it. I actually uses Invidio.us and NewPipe to avoid this problem. I just need to import my subscriptions.

Then you got the case of some social medias where it doesn’t depends on you. For example I need to use Whatsapp for school even if I hate it, same for Zoom.

I also got friends and communities that are only on Discord.

Do you already had these issues? How are you dealing with them?

Thanks in advance!

      it is, but in my opinion it has been worth it. I enjoy knowing my communications are private & secure, and the vast majority of my friends did make the move (though I should say I actually got most of them to move to Signal, not Riot). only you can decide whether it’s worth it for you.

          Can you tell me what is the difference between Session and Tox? I installed Session but I don’t know how it is different from Tox tho.

              If you would choose what would you choose to use?

              Btw: Why do your say ‘far-right’ ?

                  Ok Thanks! I used Tox as well and I tested the video recently. It is horrible, the sound is OK but the video looks like it has been taken from a Nokia phone, horrible.

                  Thanks for your comment, I would try to go back on Tox maybe, I actually thought Session was decentralized. But in deed it’s not.

          session looks pretty cool! are you sure it’s a fork of Signal though?

              ah cool, it looks pretty nice.

              I’ve already moved all my friends to Signal, so moving elsewhere isn’t possible, but I would have perhaps considered Session if it was around back then. one thing that’s disappointing to see is that their desktop application, as with Signal and Riot, is electron.
