Which is why Signal removing the SMS was a really bad move. I started to use it as my default SMS app on android was trying to convince others to do the same, so if you're communicating with people that don't have signal its a regular SMS and if they do, its a signal message, no juggling multiple apps that normal people will refuse to do.
Well that idea died, along with any of my regular non-techy contact's usage of signal anymore.
I think SMS via Signal probably undermines the entire point of it. It's supposed to be private, if messages are as exposed as text messages by default then their entire mission goes down the toilet.
I get that, and agree, but they could have let the user decide that. Have SMS off by default with a toggle button in settings or something.
Because what's the point of having a private messenger if you can't get anyone to use it.
What's your thoughts on Session?
Discord → Matrix
Twitch → Owncast, Peertube
YouTube → Peertube
Meetup → Mobilizon
Facebook → Diaspora
Thanks for these!! Cant believe I forgot about PeerTube
I would keep my feet in both sides, but nobody I know has their feet in any. They're all Discord/Facebook/Whatsapp.
Then get them on board and use it with them. Show cool communities, things, users, etc. What you can do on it. Make it fun and show how much more fun and freer it is than those platforms
