My take is that we should have the most popular services that has acceptable privacy installed and set up at all times, even if we know no one that use it.
Because in the future when one of our friends or family tries it, they find us.
It takes pretty much nothing to have Signal and Matrix set up.
That’s my approach. The problem is letting other people know which messengers you have.
I don’t use Matrix bridges, if two people are using WhatsApp over Matrix bridges, does it have a way of letting you know and switching to Matrix?
I’m confused, isn’t Signal American?
Yep.
Is SimpleX american too? Because I liked it more than Signal anyway.American yes, but the way it works almost makes it irrelevant fact. So, it’s still good and recommended.
Yeah… It’s non-profit and open source… it’s not ideal but Matrix or something else is an even harder sell.
Better than Facebook.
how is matrix a harder sell? they’re both equally obscure to the average person and matrix at least can be quite easily compared to discord.
Moving people to Signal has been a slow road, even though it’s feature rich and has a lot of users.
I don’t know a single person IRL that uses Matrix.
I like Matrix and I use it but I’m not too experienced with it so I’m not going to push it hard. The bridges seem like a really great selling point but I have no experience with them.
I made the jump a few years ago. The vast majority of my contacts didn’t migrate from WhatsApp, and only a select few of my closest pals did.
It has been fuckin’ awesome.
The trick is to never talk to people.
But once you have a few anchor friends you can find excuses to pull the other friends into group chats one at a time.
We just moved my partner’s family chat to Signal. Largely due to the current politics.
Yes, I guess the current events give some people an incentive to move
