    Tried a matrix instance, again no one interested to move from Discord, which is another platform I’d happily never use again.

      The thing about Matrix is that you can bridge it to everything else that you want (which is what Beeper and Element One do). Then it doesn’t matter what other people use. Except Snapchat - I don’t think there’s a bridge for that.

      I feel your pain. I tried to move my friend group to signal. They were fine with trying it out except one guy who just refused. Since he needed to be part of us planning things everyone just ended up using fb messenger anyways

      well apparently Discord is now pushing the monetize button… perhaps that will help them make the move…

        Probably not. The only way monitisation would make them move is if discord forced a subscription. These are people who don’t really care about ads or data collection.
