Hi friends,
I’m new to Lemmy but I think I like where it is heading in general. I would like to ask, do you have any specific apps used for ?
As a community that seems more focused on decentralized platforms, I thought this could spike up an interesting discussion
I have been using mainly Viber and FB messenger. I did try to convince friends and family to move over to simpleXchat, as it seems the most privacy focused alternative I have found, but basically failed.
I would love to hear your input!
unfortunately it is whatsapp… Had everyone move to signal, but it didn’t last :(
yeah, most people here use WhatsApp so I, reluctantly, have it too.
some friends wouldn’t even consider Telegram though it’s better feature-wise; i can’t think of swapping to Signal, Matrix, or others mentioned here though they may have more perks.
even if friends don’t use it, to me Telegram is king with the group and channel features. you can easily connect with other telegram users almost anonymously (although scammers are to be expected).
what other apps have these sort of community chats? I found an asexual community on Matrix, but that’s kind of it.
